Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 box angel food cake
16 oz fresh strawberries
strawberry filling 2 c heavy whipping cream 5 tbsp strawberry jelly 1 tsp gelatin 3 tsp water
frosting 4 c heavy whipping cream ¼ c confectioner's sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp gelatin 3 tsp water

Steps:

  • 1. Cake Mix cake according to box instructions and bake. When it has finished baking remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Once cooled, cut the cake horizontally across the middle, creating a top and bottom half. Create a trench on both halves of the cake by scooping out the inside of the cake in a ring. Make sure you do not go through the bottom or the sides. Add the strawberry filling to the trenches and put the cake halves back together. Frost the cake with whipped cream. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
  • 2. Strawberry Filling Pour heavy cream into the bowl of your stand mixer. Set speed to high and whip the heavy cream until it becomes fluffy. Add strawberry jelly and continue to mix on high. Combine gelatin and water, letting the gelatin dissolved before adding the mixture to the whipped cream. Continue mixing until everything is thoroughly combined and the whipped cream is stiff.
  • 3. Frosting Pour heavy cream into the bowl of your stand mixer. Set speed to high and whip the heavy cream until it becomes fluffy. Add confectioner's sugar and vanilla and continue to mix on high. Combine gelatin and water, letting the gelatin dissolved before adding the mixture to the whipped cream. Continue mixing until everything is thoroughly combined and the whipped cream is stiff.

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries. Fresh strawberries have the best flavor and texture for this cake. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Make sure the strawberries are ripe. Ripe strawberries are sweeter and more flavorful than unripe strawberries. To tell if a strawberry is ripe, look for one that is bright red and has a sweet smell.
  • Wash the strawberries thoroughly before using them. This will remove any dirt or debris from the strawberries.
  • Hull the strawberries before using them. To hull a strawberry, use a sharp knife to remove the green cap from the top of the strawberry.
  • Slice the strawberries thinly. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the cake batter.
  • Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature. The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a whipped cream frosting. Whipped cream frosting is light and fluffy, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet strawberries in this cake.
  • Decorate the cake with additional strawberries. This will make the cake look more festive and inviting.

Conclusion:

This strawberries and cream angel food cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is light and fluffy, and the whipped cream frosting is rich and creamy. The strawberries add a touch of sweetness and tartness that perfectly complements the other flavors in the cake. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
