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.

    Can I freeze the completed cake?

    1. I have not tried freezing it. Since it has Cool Whip in it, you would be refreezing it so I’m not sure how it would react.

  2. Once cool, use a pencil to draw large hearts on the wax paper envelopes, and then cut out hearts. (I was surprised how easy it is to cut the wax paper with melted crayon inside.) Initially, I was going to trace prefect’s hearts, but I decided to freehand them and let my daughter cut them out.

  3. This cake looks so appetizing, I will definitely cook it for my whole family. I’m sure everyone is very like it, thanks for the recipe.
