Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (store-bought or homemade) Angel food cake
- 4 cups, sliced Strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to macerate, allowing the strawberries to release their juices.
In another mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
In a large glass trifle dish or individual serving glasses, layer the dessert as follows: start with a layer of angel food cake cubes, then add a layer of strawberries with their juices, and top with a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the layering process until the dish or glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with additional strawberry slices and fresh mint leaves (optional).
Cover and refrigerate the dessert for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
