Easy dessert recipes have a special place in our hearts. After spending all day in the kitchen cooking, slicing and prepping for dinner, the last thing we want to do is continue slaving over a hot stove to make dessert. Don’t get us wrong, we love dessert and know that it sometimes is worth all of our effort, but on lazy Sundays, sometimes the simplest cake recipes do the trick.
This delicious cake recipe comes from our friends the Two Old Crabs and is as easy as it is delicious. Made from a boxed cake mix, it’s a fuss free dessert that will be ready in no time. Stuffed with fresh ripe strawberries and whipped cream, it’s an airy dessert that is perfect any time of year. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. Happy eating!
Strawberry Angel Food Dream Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 box angel food cake mix
- 1 pound ripe strawberries
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Prepare & bake the angel food cake according to package directions.
3. When cake is done turn angel food pan upside down for the cake to cool.
4. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until stiff.
5. Add the vanilla and powdered sugar & continue to whip until everything is incorporated.
6. Rinse the strawberries, cut their tops off, and cut into medium thin slices.
7. Reserving about 1/2 c., place the sliced strawberries in the whipped cream & gently fold them in.
8. After the cake has completely cooled, place it on a cake plate.
9. Using a bread or serrated knife, slice the entire top off, cutting about 1/2 down on all sides.
10. With the bread knife, carefully cut two channels in the body of the cake, leaving at least 3/4 on both walls of the cake.
11. Using one hand to help stabilize the cake & the other to work, carefully remove the entire center from both sides of the cake, all the way around. It’s still attached to the bottom, so it’s fine that it comes out in pieces. You should now have a hollow cake.
12. Set aside 1 cup of the strawberry whipped cream for garnish.
13. Gently fill the hollow space with the strawberry whipped cream, building the entire cake up as you go, not filling one space to the top and leaving the rest empty. This will help the filling distribute evenly.
14. Replace the top on the cake.
15. Using your free hand to help support the cake, carefully spread the remaining strawberry whipped cream around the top of the cake. Garnish with the rest of the sliced berries.
16. Loosely cover the entire cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, letting the whipped cream become firm inside the cake.
17. When ready to serve, slice with a bread or serrated knife.

I think I will watch the video the first time I make this but the printed copy all fit on 1 page which I liked. Not a cluster of papers to deal with!!! Might just be my Easter dessert, that is if it turn’s out looking like the picture’s. LOL I have some jelly bean mold’s from Jello when they had them for free if you bought so many pack’s of Jello. Going to make some of them and decorate around the bottom of the cake. Frosting it with the new flavored whipped topping would be good too. Hope everyone has fun making this & Good Luck!! Please post if you have any ideas!! HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!!!

This is to paulamrostica in response to her comment on July 25, 2012!
After MANY attempts to print this recipe, and many wasted sheets of paper unfortunately, the only way that I could find to print this was to highlight the text and pictures from the Title down to the last picture of the finished product, right click and then click on copy, go to your Windows Live(maybe on Hotmail?)and click on “New”. Then go to the body of the e-mail that is being prepared and right click, then click on paste. The text and pics should show up here! At this point enter your address in the “To” box so the information can be sent to your address in the form of an e-mail. Once you receive it in your Inbox you will then be able to print the recipe. I know this is a crazy way to do this but I tried other ways and they just didn’t work! When I tried to use the control and p keys, all 9 pages would print except for page 4, where I would get an error code, and when I clicked on “yes” to continue it still did not print page 4. So I would have five extra pages of “junk” from pages 5-9, correct pages for 1-3, but it would be missing the last couple of steps and the finished picture! To send it to myself in the form of an e-mail message worked just fine, so I hope this will be progress in your attempt to print this recipe. It sure does look wonderful, doesn’t it? I hope the finished product tastes as good as it sounds in print! Have a Blessed dsy!!
want to print this recipe cant print
what do you do with leftover cake that you cut out?
to print the article, press Ctrl and hold while pressing the P key.
I found this recipe many many years ago in a magazine and made it just about every spring. Only the recipe I had called for frosting the outside of cake with cool whip -which was very hard to do. Very good cake.
Oh, it also called for cream cheese in filling which made it like cheese cake flavor
roni, its funny you should mention cream cheese. I thought about that after I read the recipe. how much cream cheese would you use?
