Strawberry Shortcake With Angel Food Cake Recipe
Ingredients
This delicious strawberry shortcake recipe requires just a few ingredients. You’ll need one pre-made angel food cake, one pint of fresh strawberries, one cup of cold heavy cream, one teaspoon of confectioner’s sugar, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Instructions
This recipe is incredibly easy to make, and is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering. Start by pre-slicing your angel food cake into a dozen even slices. On a large plate or cake stand, layer the cake slices and top with the fresh strawberries. You can slice the strawberries into thin slices or leave them whole.
Now it’s time for the whipped cream. In a large bowl, combine the cold heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix the ingredients on low speed for about two minutes, then increase the speed to high and whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This should take about two to three minutes.
Once the whipped cream is done, spread it evenly over the top of the cake and strawberries. Sprinkle a few extra strawberries on top and serve immediately. Enjoy!
