I have a delicious, simple and healthy dessert idea for you.

I also had strawberries I needed to use up.

So this is what I came up with… Strawberry Angel Food Cake.

Ingredients:

  • 1 angel food cake, prepared
  • 1 pint of strawberries, cleaned and sliced in half
  • 1 container of whipped cream (like Cool Whip)

Take your angel food cake and cut the top off about 1/4 th of the way down. Save that top layer because we are going to add it back on.

Then, use a knife to cut out an inner ring like the picture below.

Take your fresh strawberry slices and fill that center cut out full of the fruit.

You totally could use sugary strawberry puree, that would be so delicious, but I was trying to cut down the sugar.

Place the top layer back on the cake.

  3. What a great idea! I love strawberries, and think that they go perfectly with Angel Food Cake (you can’t have angel food without the strawberries) but have never thought to put them inside the cake. Love this! Best part is I bet your kids & husband didn’t realize you where trying to use up the strawberries before they went bad or cut down on the sugar.

  4. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome recipe with Full Plate Thursday. Hope you have had a great weekend and have a fabulous week.

  6. I have similar version , I cut a ring (well) around center of cake pull it in pieces the cake, mix with strawberries and cool whip put mixture back in well, frost with cool whip can save some strawberry juice to tint cool whip frost entire cake, HINT adding crushed pineapple to mixture is awesome as well as adding some to cool whip if you frost cake.
