How to Make Strawberry Cream Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your chosen angel food cake recipe or mix according to package directions, baking in a smooth-sided bundt pan.
  2. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  3. Once cooled, carefully slice the cake horizontally into two layers. (Or, create a trifle with the cake, cream and strawberries by layering them in a bowl and skipping this step).
  4. In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold in the sliced strawberries.
  6. Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the cake.
  7. Carefully place the top layer of the cake on top of the cream filling.
  8. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
