Print Recipe

A light, airy, and refreshing dessert combining angel food cake, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream, perfect for summer gatherings or a simple sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Optional: sliced almonds or crushed graham crackers for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse and hull strawberries, then slice. Toss with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to macerate.
  2. Cut angel food cake into 1-inch cubes, keeping pieces uniform.
  3. In a chilled large mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. In a trifle bowl or individual glasses, layer angel food cake cubes, macerated strawberries, and whipped cream. Repeat layers, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  5. Optionally, garnish with sliced almonds, crushed graham crackers, or whole strawberries.
  6. Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to let flavors meld and cake soften.

Notes

Use cold cream and a chilled bowl for best whipping results. Do not over-whip cream to avoid turning it into butter. Macerate strawberries with lemon juice and sugar to enhance sweetness and juiciness. Assemble trifle close to serving time to prevent cake from becoming soggy. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Optional garnishes add texture and visual appeal.
