Angel Food Cake with Berries

Please, please don’t be intimidated by this cake, it really is super easy. It’s perfect for the upcoming 4th of July holiday but also great as a no bake dessert when you don’t want to heat up your oven during the heat of the summer.

Ingredients for Angel Food Cake with Berries

The ingredients are very simple, yet have a few secret touches that make this Angel Food Cake with Berries extra special. I started with a store bought Angel Food Cake, you can also use a cake mix and bake your own, or make one from scratch.

The whipped topping is not your everyday run of the mill straight from the container topping. For extra thickness, I added a container of marshmallow creme and almond extract for extra flavoring.

The berries are also extra special – strawberries, blueberries, red raspberries and blackberries combined.

Divide Angel Food Cake

Here’s a little trick I learned long ago because I don’t cut very evenly. Use toothpicks to divide the cake into thirds, then using a serrated knife, cut along the toothpicks.

After the cake is cut, then the fun starts. Add the whipped topping and berries, then repeat the layers until you are finished. Then a few sprigs of mint to add a little freshness if you like.

      So glad it was a hit, Kelly! It is definitely a favorite around here!

      1. how far in advance can this be made and refrigerated?

        1. The cake should keep about 6-8 hours. If you leave it too long, the whipped cream will soak into the cake too much and make it soggy.
          -Liz

  2. Is the creme, marshmallow fluff?

    1. Yes, it’s near the marshmallows at the store.
      -Liz

        Liz, where did you find an angel food cake shaped like that? I’ve never seen one that big or that round.

        1. Hi Becky, the cake is from the Kroger bakery.
          -Liz

  3. Can you taste the marshmallow cream in the whipped topping?

    1. Hi Dherea, The marshmallow creme gives the whipped topping a little extra substance. You can taste it, but it doesn’t taste marshmallowy.
      -Liz

      1. I plan on making this for my dads birthday cake. I picked up the ingredients yesterday and bought marshmallow topping not marshmallow fluff. Do you think that is ok?

        1. Hi Patricia, I haven’t used that before, but it should be fine.
          -Liz
