Ingredients
- 1 large (store-bought or homemade) angel food cake
- 4 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 16 ounces whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 3 ounces strawberry gelatin mix (optional)
- 1 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them thinly.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat the strawberries, then let them sit for 10-15 minutes to release their juices.
Step 3
If using the optional strawberry gelatin, dissolve the gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
Tear or cut the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, fold the prepared whipped topping with the strawberry mixture (and dissolved gelatin, if using) until evenly combined.
Step 6
Layer one-third of the angel food cake pieces in a 9x13-inch dish or trifle bowl.
Step 7
Spread one-third of the strawberry and whipped topping mixture evenly over the cake pieces.
Step 8
Repeat the layers twice more, ending with the strawberry and whipped topping mixture on top.
Step 9
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Step 10
Serve chilled, garnished with fresh strawberries if desired.
