Recipe Tips:

• Jello Mix – Before mixing in the strawberries to the jell-o mix, make sure it has cooled.
• Combining the Ingredients – When mixing in the whipped cream and angel food cake, make sure to mix by hand. You want to gently mix the ingredients together instead of using an electric mixer.
• Chill Cake – After pouring into a baking dish, make sure to allow the angel food cake to chill. This is the perfect dessert to make ahead of time.
• Serving – We used a regular baking dish. But you can put into smaller containers if you need to take it to multiple places.
• Baking Angel Food Cake – If you are making fluffy angel food cake. Make sure to allow the cake to cool before mixing with other ingredients. We recommend it being at room temperature.
• Spread Mixture – Spread the angel food cake mixture evenly in the 9×13 baking dish. The cake batter will be thick so we use a rubber spatula to spread the mixture.
