Instructions:
Prepare the cake: If using a homemade angel food cake, ensure it is completely cooled before assembling the dessert.
Make the strawberry cream mixture: In a large bowl, add the diced fresh strawberries and lightly mash them with the back of a fork. This will release some of the strawberry juices.
Fold in Cool Whip and marshmallows: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip and mini marshmallows into the mashed strawberries until everything is evenly combined.
Chill the cream mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and chill the strawberry cream mixture in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
Slice the angel food cake: Place the angel food cake on a serving platter. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut the cake horizontally into three even layers. Set the top two layers aside.
Assemble the cake:
Spread half of the chilled strawberry cream mixture evenly over the bottom layer of the angel food cake.
Carefully place the middle layer of the cake on top of the cream filling.
Spread the remaining strawberry cream mixture evenly over the middle layer of the cake.
Place the top layer of the cake on top of the cream filling.
Frost the cake: Spread any remaining strawberry cream mixture over the top and sides of the cake until it is fully covered.
Chill the assembled cake: Place the assembled Strawberry Angel Cake back in the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 90 minutes before serving. This allows the cake to set and the flavors to fully develop.
Decorate (optional): Before serving, you can decorate the cake with sliced strawberries for an extra touch of elegance.
Serve: Slice and serve the chilled Strawberry Angel Cake. Enjoy this light and refreshing dessert!
