Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cake Angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Place the sliced strawberries in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Stir gently to coat the berries evenly in sugar, then let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.
In a trifle dish or large serving bowl, layer the dessert starting with 1/3 of the angel food cake cubes on the bottom. Add a layer of strawberries (including some of the juice) and a layer of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish the dessert with a few whole strawberries or additional sliced strawberries, if desired.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
