Angel Food Cake

You can make a homemade, from scratch Angel Food Cake or one from a boxed mix. Or you can use a store-bought Angel Food Cake which is what I do.

Cool Whip or Fresh Whipped Cream

Use Cool Whip or make fresh whipped cream. It’s your choice. Either way it will be delicious. If you make fresh whipped cream , you will want to sweeten it some.

This spring dessert is so easy and delicious and a wonderful way to use fresh strawberries. It makes a great Mother’s Day treat!

Change Up The Fruit

This cake can easily be made with blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or sliced peaches instead of strawberries.
