Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade (approximately 9-inch round) Angel food cake
- 2 cups, sliced Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Strawberry jam
Instructions
Slice the fresh strawberries and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with granulated sugar, toss to combine, and let them macerate for 15-20 minutes to release their natural juices.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the strawberry jam into the whipped cream to create a swirl effect.
Slice the angel food cake horizontally into three even layers using a serrated knife.
Place the bottom layer of the cake on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of the strawberry cream mixture over it, then evenly distribute one-third of the macerated strawberries on top.
Repeat the process with the second layer of cake, spreading the strawberry cream and layering with strawberries.
Place the top cake layer on and spread the remaining strawberry cream mixture evenly over the entire cake, including the sides if desired.
Garnish the cake with whole strawberries or additional slices on top for decoration.
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
