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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 3
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 4
Gently fold the strawberry jam into the whipped cream to create a swirl effect.
Step 5
Slice the angel food cake horizontally into three even layers using a serrated knife.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the second layer of cake, spreading the strawberry cream and layering with strawberries.
Step 8
Place the top cake layer on and spread the remaining strawberry cream mixture evenly over the entire cake, including the sides if desired.
Step 9
Garnish the cake with whole strawberries or additional slices on top for decoration.
Step 10
Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 11
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
