As the weather gets warmer here in the south, I try my best not to use my oven as much. But, I still want to serve delicious desserts when we invite friends over for supper. Enter this Strawberry Angel Cake.
This is a dessert that my Mama made during the summer when I was growing up and one that I hadn’t made in a long while until I was reminded of it as I was looking through a recent slideshow on Cooking Light.
We had invited the lady who kept Little Buddy when he was a baby and toddler and I was working over for supper one night this past week and I wanted to make a simple dessert that I felt sure she would love. I remembered how much she liked strawberries and I knew she loved the lightness of angel food cake.
Rather than serving a fussy dessert, I knew this cake would be light, refreshing and ultra easy to prepare!
You just won’t believe how easy it is!
I used Sugar-Free Cool Whip to make this recipe even quicker and easier, but you could easily use homemade whipped cream if you prefer.
To say it was a hit would be a major understatement.
Here’s how I made it.
- 1 prepared angel food cake
- 1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream
- 1 pint strawberries
- Slice the cake in half and spread a layer of Cool Whip or whipped cream onto the cake layer.
- Top it with a pint of sliced strawberries and then place the top half of cake on top.
- ‘Frost’ the cake with Cool Whip or whipped cream.
- Place into the freezer until right before ready to serve.
- Slice with a serrated knife for serving.
- Keep covered tightly in the freezer.
Enjoy!

Would you believe that I’ve never made an angel food cake before? I’ve always been really intimidated by them. This recipe has caught my eye, though. Now, I just need to go out and buy a tube pan.
This recipe is even easier than that! I picked up the angel food cake. No tube pan required!
