Strawberry Angel Cake makes an easy, elegant dessert recipe perfect for entertaining or enjoying with your family.
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.
We had invited Mrs. Melba, the lady who kept Little Buddy when I worked, 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 strawberry angel cake would be light, refreshing and ultra easy to prepare!
You just won’t believe how easy it is! Or delicious.
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 my Strawberry Angel Cake. Make it soon. You’ll love it!

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. 🙂

Your’s looks perfect and I love that you used cool whip for the frosting and a ready made cake! Easy!!

So easy and so, so pretty! I need to remember this during the next couple of months for last minute cookouts.
