How to Make Strawberry Angel Food Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking your own angel food cake; otherwise, skip to step 2.
  2. If using a homemade angel food cake, prepare the batter according to your recipe and bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  3. Let the angel food cake cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries and optional strawberry preserves.
  7. Once the angel food cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into 2 or 3 layers (depending on cake height).
  8. Spread a layer of the whipped strawberry mixture on top of the bottom layer of cake.
  9. Top with the next layer of cake and repeat with the whipped strawberry mixture.
  10. Repeat for the final cake layer, if using 3.
  11. Decorate the top of the cake with extra whipped cream and sliced strawberries. If desired, dust with additional powdered sugar.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
