    Necessary Equipment

    To create this heavenly Strawberry Angel Food Cake Layered Lush dessert, you’ll need specific equipment to ensure the process goes smoothly.

    Baking Pan

    Prepare a 9×13 inch baking dish for assembling the layers of this delightful dessert. The size of the pan is crucial to ensure the cake and fillings are evenly distributed and layered.

    Mixer

    An electric mixer or hand mixer will be essential for whisking together the Dream Whip, milk, vanilla extract, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to create the creamy and fluffy fillings for the lush dessert.

    Make-Ahead Instructions

    When preparing a delightful Strawberry Angel Food Cake layered lush dessert, it’s convenient to make certain components ahead of time. Below are detailed instructions for preparing the strawberry sauce, baking the angel food cake, and creating the cream cheese filling in advance.

    Preparing the Strawberry Sauce

    1. Whisk together corn starch, water, and sugar in a saucepan, then add in the strawberry purée.
    2. Cook the mixture over low to medium heat until it thickens and turns a deep ruby red.
    3. Remove the sauce from heat and allow it to cool before storing in the fridge or freezer.

    Baking the Angel Food Cake

    1. Slice the store-bought angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and spread them in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    2. Ensure the angel food cake layer is even for uniform distribution of the lush dessert components.
    3. This step can be done a day in advance to save time before assembling the entire dessert.
    4. Soften an 8-ounce brick of cream cheese to room temperature to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
    5. Whip together the cream cheese with confectioners’ sugar and other desired ingredients for the lush layer.
    6. Refrigerate the cream cheese filling if preparing it ahead of assembling the Strawberry Angel Food Cake dessert.

    Instructions

    Prepare the Angel Food Cake

    To begin, slice the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Spread the cubes evenly at the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish to create the base for the lush dessert.

    Make the Strawberry Sauce

    In a saucepan, simmer the sliced strawberries with sugar to create a delightful strawberry sauce. Stir occasionally while preparing the cream cheese filling and angel food cake cubes.

    Create the Cream Cheese Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, whip together Dream Whip, milk, and vanilla until soft peaks form. In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread this creamy mixture over the angel food cake cubes in the baking dish.

    Whip the Cream

    Whip the cream cheese mixture for 3 to 5 minutes until smooth and creamy. Layer the sliced strawberries in the strawberry sauce over the Dream Whip filling. Chill the assembled dessert in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal taste before serving.

    Assembly

    Assemble this delightful Strawberry Angel Food Cake dessert step-by-step for a heavenly treat perfect for any occasion.

    Layering the Components

    1. After preparing the angel food cake cubes and strawberry sauce, layer the cake cubes with the sweet cream cheese mixture in a large bowl or trifle dish.
    2. Gently combine the cake cubes and cream cheese mixture to ensure even coverage and a creamy texture throughout.
    3. Add a generous layer of the strawberry sauce, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
    4. Top off the lush dessert with a fluffy layer of whipped cream for a delightful finish.
    5. Complete the assembly by adding a layer of fresh strawberry slices on top, adding a burst of color and freshness.

    Enjoy this strawberry angel food cake layered lush after refrigerating for at least 3 hours, or for even better results, chill it for up to 24 hours. This dessert truly shines when allowed to rest and develop its flavors.

    Serving and Storage

    How to Serve

    To serve this delightful strawberry angel food cake layered lush, you have a few options. While a 9×13 ceramic baking dish is my preferred choice, you can also use a 9×13 cake pan, a large glass trifle dish for elegant layers, or small individual serving cups or mason jars for a personalized touch. Consider drizzling chocolate syrup or melted white chocolate on top, adding a dollop of whipped cream, or sprinkling cookie crumbs like Golden Oreos or vanilla wafers.

    Storage Tips

    After indulging in this heavenly dessert, it’s essential to store any leftovers properly. Cover the dish and refrigerate it to maintain freshness. Ensure that the dessert is stored in the refrigerator to preserve the flavors. Be mindful not to leave it at room temperature for an extended period to avoid spoilage.

    Conclusion

    I’ve shared the ins and outs of crafting a delectable Strawberry Angel Food Cake layered lush. From slicing the cake to whipping up a luscious cream cheese filling, every step is crucial to achieving dessert perfection. Layering the cake with strawberry sauce, cream cheese mixture, and fresh strawberries creates a delightful treat that’s bound to impress. Remember, chilling the dessert is key to intensifying its flavors, so be patient before indulging. Whether you opt for a classic ceramic baking dish or get creative with individual serving cups, the presentation is key. Enhance your dessert with chocolate drizzles, whipped cream, or cookie crumbs for an extra touch of sweetness. Lastly, proper storage is a must to savor every bite of this heavenly creation.
