Description

This Strawberry-Filled Angel Food Cake is the ultimate spring and summer dessert—light, fluffy angel food cake filled with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and crumbled cake, then topped with a smooth cream cheese frosting. Perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day, or warm-weather gatherings, this no-bake strawberry dessert is as easy as it is elegant.

Ingredients

Cake & Filling:

  • 1 store-bought or homemade angel food cake

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

  • 1/2 of the angel food cake (crumbled, from hollowing out)

Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Garnish:

  • Whole fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. Hollow the Cake:
    Using a serrated knife, gently cut a circle into the top of the angel food cake, leaving a 1-inch border. Remove the center, keeping the bottom intact. Crumble the removed cake and set aside.

  2. Make the Filling:
    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in chopped strawberries and the reserved crumbled cake.

  3. Fill the Cake:
    Spoon the strawberry and whipped cream mixture into the hollowed-out center of the cake. Level off the top and smooth with a spatula.

  4. Make the Frosting:
    In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  5. Frost the Cake:
    Spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top and sides of the filled angel food cake.

  6. Chill and Serve:
    Garnish with whole strawberries if desired. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Best served chilled and consumed within 2-3 days.

  • For a lighter version, use light cream cheese or Greek yogurt in the frosting.

  • Try swapping strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a twist.
