NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM
Steps:
- First, let the strawberries and Cool Whip rest on the counter. The strawberries will mix with the Jell-o better if they're not rock hard, and the Cool Whip will incorporate better if it's a little soft.
- Slice the angel food cake into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces using a serrated knife, and spread half of the angel food cake pieces on the bottom of the 9×13 inch dish. (Or a fun glass dish like a trifle bowl.)
- Bring two cups of water to a boil. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and Jell-o powder. Stir until fully combined.
- Then, add the frozen strawberries and stir, breaking up the chunks until they have melted. Fold the Cool Whip a few dollops at a time into the strawberry mixture, stirring gently to combine without deflating the dessert. Again, you can leave it a little less than uniformly combined, but you want it well-mixed.
- Spread half the mixture over the cake. Add the remaining cake, then cover with the remaining mix. Spread to ensure the cake is fully covered.
- Alternatively, you can combine all the cake and mix in a large bowl. You may prefer this method if you're serving the dessert in a trifle or glass bowl.
- Chill in the fridge four hours or overnight. If the cake feels wet or jiggles, it's not set.
- To glam it up, you can cover the chilled cake with Cool Whip, or garnish or decorate the top with sliced strawberries.
STRAWBERRY CREAM ANGEL FOOD CAKE
A cooking instructor in my 9th grade home ec taught me how to make this, its very simple. I believe its best using a bunt pan, but not those ones with the designs. You can use a box of Angel food cake mix found usually in most stores or any favorite recipe you might have. Usually the only thing you have to add to Angel food Cake Mix is water, but it varies by brand. Included here is ONLY the recipe for the filling and directions on how to fill it. Feel free to substitute with any other fruit, like bananas or blueberries. I suggest looking up alton browns angel food cake recipe for some great tips for angel food cake. Bringing this to an event, but want to try it now? No problem! Save the insides you pull out of the cake and make yourself a trifle, alternating layers of cake, cream and berries in a large glass or small bowl. (You can also do this is disaster strikes with your angel food cake)

Steps:
- Mix and put the angel food cake into the bunt pan and bake as directed.
- Let the cake cool COMPLETELY.
- In the meantime take your pint of heavy cream and mix it with the pudding mix in a small bowl. The mixture should become thick and creamy but still spreadable.
- When the cake is completely cooled, remove it carefully from the pan.
- Use a knife and cut the cake in half through the middle, leave the cake in two complete sections (note cut in half as in horizontally not as if you were splitting the cake into slices and cut it in half first).
- Laying the cake with the insides facing up use your fingers to hollow out a ring for the filling on both pieces. make sure not to damage the edges of the cake for presentation purposes. Feel free to "sample" the cake seeing as these pieces you remove will not be needed.
- At this point you can cut, wash and put the strawberries or bananas or whatever fruit desired into the cream or just lay the cream in the crevice you created on the bottom half of the cake putting the fruit on top. Don't be sparing--let the cream fill over the crevice because the top has been hollowed out also. I cut the strawberries into tiny pieces because I don't like getting large wedges of fruit in one bite, and if you need to make it stretch further, everyone gets some fruit in their piece.
- Once you fill the mixture in, carefully place the top back on the cake. Feel free to use any remaining filling to help secure excess fruit to the top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Sift 1/2 cup sugar and flour into medium bowl 3 times. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt in large bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1 cup sugar, beat until very stiff peaks form. Fold in flour mixture in 3 additions; fold in vanilla extract. Transfer batter to ungreased 10-inch-diameter by 4-inch-deep angel food cake pan.
- Bake until cake is brown and crusty on top and tester inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Turn pan upside down and fit center onto slender bottle neck. Cool cake completely. Cut around pan sides to loosen cake. Turn cake out onto platter. Cut into wedges. Serve with strawberries and Devonshire Cream.
Tips:
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them whip up more easily.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become dry and stiff, which will make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a tube pan. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. If you frost the cake while it is still warm, the frosting will melt and slide off.
- Serve the cake with fresh strawberries and Devonshire cream. This is the traditional way to serve angel food cake, and it is absolutely delicious.
Conclusion:
Angel food cake is a light, fluffy, and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is especially popular in the summer, when fresh strawberries are in season. This recipe for angel food cake with strawberries and Devonshire cream is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone.
