Thursday Pampered Treats

I thought I would share my favorite Cake recipe with you.  I grew up eating this cake for every birthday growing up.  And the best part is that Diabetics can eat it too.

Pink Angel Food Cake

 

 

 

1-10oz pkg. Frozen sliced Strawberries (thawed)
1-3oz pkg.  Strawberry Jell-O or Strawberry Jell-O light
1 cup Hot water
1Cup Whipping Cream, Whipped

1 Angel Food Cake ( You can make it from scratch or from a box, if you use the box version Robin hood brand is the best.)

Drain strawberries, reserving 1/2cup syrup.  Dissolve gelatin in hot water.  Add reserved syrup.  Chill till partially set.  Beat mixture till light and fluffy.  Fold in whipped cream.  Chill till of spreading consistency (approx. 2-3hrs).  Transfer 1 1/2 cups of mixture into a small bowl, fold in drained strawberries.

Split cake cross-wise making 3 equal layers.  Fill between layers with strawberry mixture.  Frost top and sides of cake with remaining whipped cream mixture.  Chill till serving time.  (Can be decorated with fresh strawberries).

I usually make the cake the evening before and then in the morning when the cake is cool, I start making the strawberry whipped cream icing.  This cake is very light and flavorful.   It's a family favorite.
