Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 14 ounces pre-made angel food cake

For the strawberry topping

  • 1 16-ounce package fresh strawberries washed, tops removed and sliced thinly
  • 3/4 cup homemade strawberry glaze (see notes)

For the cream cheese layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk

For the Whipped Cream *see notes

Instructions

  • Slice the angel food cake into 1" cubes and layer them in the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.

Make the whipped cream

  • In a medium bowl, add the cold whipping cream and vanilla. Beat on high with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer until the mixture starts to foam and get slightly thicker--about 3 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and beat on high until stiff peaks form--another 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to over beat your cream or it will separate and turn to butter. When the mixture will hold a peak that doesn't fall over, it's ready. 

Make the cream cheese layer

  • In a small bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, half of the whipped cream and milk together with a handheld mixer.
  • Spread in dollops over the cake. Use a spatula and your fingers to spread it around. It will be thick. Just do the best you can.
  • Spread the other half of the whipped cream over the cream cheese layer.

Make the strawberry layer

  • Mix the berries and glaze in another bowl and spread evenly over the cool whip.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
