How to Make Peach Or Strawberry Shortcake
- Prepare your angel food cake: If baking from scratch, follow the instructions on your chosen recipe or box mix. Allow to cool completely. If using store-bought, proceed to step 2.
- Slice the angel food cake horizontally into 3 even layers.
- In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Sweeten with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar (optional).
- Spread a layer of whipped cream evenly over the bottom layer of cake.
- Top the whipped cream with 1 ½ cups of sliced fresh peaches OR 1 ½ cups of sliced fresh strawberries.
- Repeat layers 4 and 5 with the second cake layer.
- Place the final cake layer on top and repeat step 6 (whipped cream and fruit).
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow flavors to meld and the cake to slightly soften. Slice and enjoy!
