Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Angel Food Bundt Cake | 1 |
| Cool Whip, thawed | 16 oz |
| Fresh strawberries, diced | 2 ½ cups |
| Mini marshmallows | 2 ½ cups |
| Sliced strawberries (optional) | For decorating |
Instructions:
- If you are using a homemade angel food cake, ensure that it has cooled completely before you begin assembling the dessert.
- In a large bowl, add the diced fresh strawberries. Using the back of a fork, lightly mash some of the strawberries to release their juices.
- Add the thawed Cool Whip and mini marshmallows to the bowl with the mashed strawberries.
- Gently fold all the ingredients together until they are evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the strawberry cream mixture for 20 minutes. This chilling time will help the flavors meld together.
- While the cream mixture is chilling, place the angel food cake on your serving platter.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the angel food cake horizontally into three even layers. Set the top two layers aside.
- Spread a generous amount of the chilled strawberry cream mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the angel food cake.
- Carefully place the middle layer of the angel food cake on top of the cream mixture.
- Spread another generous layer of the strawberry cream mixture over the middle cake layer.
- Finally, place the top layer of the angel food cake over the cream mixture.
- Spread the remaining strawberry cream mixture over the top and sides of the entire cake until it is fully covered.
- Chill the assembled Strawberry Angel Cake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 90 minutes before serving. This will allow the cake to set and the flavors to further meld.
- If desired, decorate the top of the chilled cake with sliced fresh strawberries before serving.
- Slice and serve the Strawberry Angel Cake chilled.
