Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 prepared angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Combine the sliced strawberries and sugar in a large bowl. Let sit 15 minutes until juicy.
  2. Whip the cold heavy cream and vanilla on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. In a 2-quart glass dish, layer half the cake cubes, half the strawberry mixture with its syrup, and half the whipped cream. Repeat layers, ending with the remaining strawberries on top.
  4. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Spoon into bowls and serve cold.

Notes

Chilling time is not included in the prep or cook time. For the cleanest layers, chill the assembled dessert for the full 2 hours before serving. If you prefer a sweeter cream, sift in 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar during whipping.
