Ingredients
Angel Food Cake
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup cake flour
- a pinch salt
- 9 egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
Strawberry Shortcake
- 1 lbs fresh strawberries sliced, stems removed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz cool whip
Instructions
Angel Food Cake
- Pre-heat oven to 350℉
- Pulse granulated sugar in the food processor or blender until it is super fine.
- Set aside half of the fine sugar, and sift the other half into a medium bowl using a sifter.
- Add cake flour and salt to the bowl of sifted sugar. Mix to combine.
- In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients – egg whites, vanilla extract and cream of tartar. Whisk to combine.
- Sift the remaining sugar that was set aside in Step 3 into the wet ingredients. Use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to whisk until soft peaks are formed (see Note 1). This will take at least a few minutes.
- Gently fold the sugar + cake flour + salt mixture from Step 4 a little bit at a time into the egg white mixture, until all the flour mixture is folded into the egg white mixture. Avoid over mixing.
- Transfer mixture into an ungreased tube pan. Bake for 25-28 minutes.
- Remove cake from oven, let it sit for 5 minutes. Then cool cake by inverting it upside down on a cooling rack for at least 1 hour.
- To remove cake, slide a thin spatula between cake and the inside walls of the tube pan, and gently remove cake from tube pan and place on cooling rack.
- Let cake cool for another 30 minutes.
Assembling Strawberry Shortcake Angel Food Cake

- Top angel food cake with a thick layer of cool whip and then strawberry mixture (just the strawberries, avoid adding too much liquid).
- Serve with leftover cool whip and strawberries. Enjoy!
