Ingredients

Cake Base:

1 Angel Food Bundt Cake (homemade or store-bought)

Strawberry Cream Filling:

16 oz Cool Whip, thawed – Creates a light and creamy texture.
2 ½ cups diced fresh strawberries – Adds natural sweetness and freshness.
2 ½ cups mini marshmallows – Enhances the texture with soft, pillowy bites.
Optional: Sliced strawberries – For decorating and extra visual appeal.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberry Cream Mixture

In a large bowl, add the diced strawberries and gently mash them using the back of a fork to release their juices.
Fold in the Cool Whip and mini marshmallows until well combined.
Cover the bowl and chill for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

2. Prepare the Cake Layers

If using a homemade angel food cake, ensure it is completely cool before cutting.
Place the cake on a serving platter and use a sharp serrated knife to slice it horizontally into three layers.
Set the top two layers aside for assembly.

3. Assemble the Cake

Spread a generous layer of the strawberry cream mixture over the bottom layer of the cake.
Place the middle cake layer on top and repeat with another layer of cream mixture.
Add the final cake layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining cream mixture, ensuring the top and sides are fully coated.

4. Chill & Serve

Cover and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to set.
Decorate with sliced strawberries for an elegant finishing touch.
Slice and serve chilled for a refreshing and delightful dessert!

Pro Tips for the Best Cake

Use fresh, ripe strawberries – They provide the best natural sweetness and juiciness. For a firmer texture, let the cake chill for longer—overnight works best. Use a gentle folding technique to keep the cream mixture light and fluffy. Try flavored mini marshmallows for a fun twist!

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

Refrigerate: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make Ahead: Prepare the strawberry cream mixture a day in advance to enhance the flavors before assembling.
Freezing is not recommended due to the texture of the Cool Whip and fresh strawberries.
