Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (10-12 oz) angel food cake
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2-3 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Toss the sliced strawberries with the granulated sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes until juicy.
  2. Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt until soft peaks form.
  3. Tear the angel food cake into chunks and layer half in a dish with half the strawberries and half the whipped cream, then repeat.
  4. Scoop into bowls and serve immediately.

Notes

For the freshest texture, assemble no more than 2 hours before serving. If you need to prep earlier, macerate the strawberries and whip the cream separately, then layer just before serving. Angel food cake tears easily, so handle it gently.
