  • Two round cake pans
  • Spatula
  • Knife for slicing cake layers
  • Serving Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box of Angel Food Cake Mix
  • 1 large tub of Cool Whip 16 oz – I used Lite
  • 1 jar of strawberry preserves 18 oz
  • 1 large container of fresh strawberries cut in half
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for strawberries

Instructions
 

Bake the Cake:

  • Prepare Angel Food cake mix according to the box instructions.
    A large glass mixing bowl on the white marble cooktop with Angel Food cake mix being whisked into a smooth batter, ready for baking.
  • Bake in two round pans and let them cool completely.
    Two round cake pans filled with prepared batter are set on the white marble cooktop, ready to be placed into a preheated oven.

Prepare Strawberries:

  • Mix halved strawberries with sugar in a large bowl; set aside to macerate.
    A large glass bowl on the white marble cooktop contains halved fresh strawberries being tossed with sugar, releasing their juices to macerate.

Make the Filling:

  • In a bowl, combine half the Cool Whip with strawberry preserves until smooth.
    Another glass bowl on the white marble cooktop holds half the Cool Whip being combined with strawberry preserves into a smooth, creamy mixture.

Slice Cake Layers:

  • Carefully slice each cooled cake horizontally to create four layers.
    One of the cooled cakes is on the white marble cooktop, being carefully sliced horizontally with a serrated knife to create even layers.

Assemble the Cake:

  • Place one layer on a serving dish, spread Cool Whip-strawberry mixture on top, and add a few strawberries.
    The first cake layer is placed on a serving dish over the white marble cooktop and topped with a layer of Cool Whip-strawberry mixture and fresh strawberries.
  • Repeat with all layers.
    Additional cake layers are being added one by one over the white marble cooktop, each topped with filling and strawberries, creating a multi-layered dessert.

Frost the Cake:

  • Cover the entire cake with the remaining Cool Whip.

Decorate & Chill:

  • Garnish with remaining fresh strawberries. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
    The cake, garnished with fresh strawberries on top, rests on the white marble cooktop before being placed in the fridge to chill.
  • Enjoy this fruity and creamy dessert with loved ones!
