What are some ideas for angel food cake?

Question

I just bought some angel foods cake. What are some yummy recipes using it? I have already thought of berries with whipped cream. I pretty much have a stocked kitchen. I want something different than just adding something from a jar or can.

Answer 1

Angel Lush
Makes: 10 servings

1 can (20 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Fat Free Sugar Free Instant Reduced Calorie Pudding & Pie Filling
1 cup thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping
1 pkg. (10 oz.) round angel food cake
10 fresh strawberries

MIX pineapple with its juice and the dry pudding mix in medium bowl. Gently stir in whipped topping.

CUT cake horizontally into three layers. Place bottom cake layer, cut-side up, on serving plate; top with 1-1/3 cups of the pudding mixture. Cover with middle cake layer and an additional 1 cup of the remaining pudding mixture. Top with remaining cake layer; spread top of dessert with the remaining pudding mixture.

REFRIGERATE at least 1 hour. Top with strawberries just before serving. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Answer 2

Well...this is partially from a jar, but I have to tell ya, my family has been making it for years and we get requests for it ALL the time.

FRESH whipping cream mixed with one large jar of Gerber's strained mixed fruit baby food. It is THE BEST frosting for an angel food cake you will ever want to try!!

Another thing you can do is try mixing one box of instant chocolate pudding with 1/2 the milk and one container whipped cream well mixed.(though I still prefer fresh whipped cream!) Tear the angel food cake into bite sized pieces. Then, you want to layer the cake and whipped pudding mix evenly. (One layer cake, one layer whipped pudding and so on. Your last layer should be pudding!) Top it with whipped cream and shaved chocolate.

Hope this helps!!

Angel food cake is hard to make. Try a cake mix and be sure the baking pan is completely clean. You can also buy made up cakes at local super markets. Then you can add the frosting. Chocolate with orange, Cream Cheese with Amaretto, and Pecan with rum are all very tasty. I make Angel Food Cupcakes and add a cherry to the center of each one while cooking. They usually look terrible but taste great. Good luck!

Top with fresh or frozen berries and cool whip.
