Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made cake (about 12 ounces) Angel food cake
- 2 cups, sliced Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Strawberry preserves
Instructions
In a medium bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with the sugar. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
While the strawberries are macerating, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a handheld or stand mixer to whip the mixture on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Tear the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the strawberry preserves for about 15 seconds to loosen them. Stir until smooth.
In a 9x9-inch glass dish or a large serving bowl, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of angel food cake pieces, followed by a layer of whipped cream, and then a layer of the sugared strawberries, drizzling some of the strawberry preserves in between.
Repeat the layering process until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Optionally, garnish the top with additional fresh strawberries or a drizzle of strawberry preserves.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
