directions

  • Blend the cream cheese & confectioners sugar with a mixer in a medium bowl.
  • Slowly add the cool whip to the cream cheese until it is well blended.
  • Put 10 strawberries & 2 tablespoons of sugar into a food processor & puree them. (Use the less attractive strawberries for this.).
  • Pour the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture & stir. Refrigerate until ready to frost the cake.
  • Cut the rest of the strawberries in half, then in half again. Place into a bowl with 1 tablespoon of sugar & gently stir.
  • Cut the angle food cake crosswise & take off the top, place to the side for later.
  • Put a thin layer of the mixture on top of the bottom half of the cake. Place a thin layer of strawberries over the frosting, then cover with another thin layer of cream cheese mixture.
  • Place the other half of the cake back on top. Cover the rest of the outside of the cake with the remaining mixture. Decorate the top of the cake with the rest of the strawberries.
  • Store the cake in the refrigerator so the frosting doesn't melt.

  1. This recipe is delicious and very impressive!! I used a box cake mix, because I had one. Also I dipped extra strawberries in dark chocolate and white chocolate and decoated around the bottom of the cake. Then I drizzled some of each of the chocolates on the top of the cake.Nice presentation!!
     
  2. delicious dessert! I used my recipe#120178 for the cake, this also makes a lovely presentation to serve at a get together, thanks for sharing Nasseh!
     
  3. This is an easy, yummy cake. I made it as written. I think it was better the second day, after having sat in the fridge overnight. We'll be making this again. Thanks!
     
  4. Love how it looked, those who ate it ate it well! (DH said it was alright, mother asked for the iceing recipe, father raved, sisters liked it a lot along with friends so yes it is good!) (I am gluten free, ect, ect so I would not try it). I used a good boxed brand angel food cake which I made, fresh strawberries which I sliced rather than quartered so they were all over the cakes sides and top (also added a drizzling of strawberry sundae syrup to one portion that was a gift - loved the look of it that way too and it was all eaten up and raved over). I also used regular Cool Whip, Philadelphia brand cream cheese, plus the rest of the ingredients. We didn't have enough icing because I was unable to make the total amount called for so we just had it over the cake without filling, they said in retrospect it didn't need it and would be too rich but I think if I made it again, for looks I would do it!! Then again I am just looking at it lol. Made for RAMADAN TAG 2012!
