Strawberry angel food sponge cake

Strawberry angel fluff is a traditional dessert with roots in American home cooking, being especially popular during holidays and family gatherings. In Latin America, although the specific name may vary, the concept of a light dessert with angel food cake and gelatin is known and adapted in different recipes, serving as a refreshing and sweet alternative in warm climates. In some countries in the region, it may simply be referred to as "spongy strawberry cake" or "gelatin with angel food cake," reflecting local variations in ingredients and presentations.

Angel food cake, the base of this recipe, is light, airy, and fat-free, made primarily with egg whites, which gives the dessert its characteristic texture. The strawberry gelatin adds a sweet and fruity note, while the frozen strawberries provide freshness and a textural contrast. This dessert is ideal for those looking for something that is not too heavy but still satisfies the indulgence of a homemade sweet. Its simplicity and its fluffy, colorful appearance make it a favorite choice for various celebrations.

How to Make Strawberry Angel Fluff

To begin, crumble the cake into walnut-sized pieces and spread these pieces on the bottom of a 10" x 13" cake pan.

Dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water and then add 2 cups of cold water. Let it set a little.

Incorporate the frozen strawberries and the frozen whipped topping that has been slightly thawed. Gently mix to combine all the ingredients.

Pour this mixture over the crumbled cake in the pan and refrigerate until completely set.

To finish, decorate with additional whipped cream or frosting and fresh strawberries to taste. Serve cold and enjoy its fluffy texture and delicious flavor.
