berry angel cream

easiest summer dessert (yet messiest)

i made this for my family this weekend. everyone devoured it like a pack of wolves on fried chicken.

angel food cake, cut in half lengthwise, 1/3 way through
1 cup blueberries
5 cups strawberries, cut in quarters, with 1 tbs sugar mixed in
whipping cream (whipped) or light cool whip for fewer calories

cut the cake, whip the cream (a chilled bowl or metal pan works best), sort of hollow out the inner layer of the cake, layer cream on inner layer, put on a layer of half of strawberries, add in a half of the blueberries, add layer of whipped cream onto bottom of top layer of angel food cake. put top layer of cake on (make it fit!). add whipped cream on top of cake and then the rest of berries.

here's my rendition:



fyi, i was actually inspired by martha's new cake, but it went it's own way. as is the case with martha's ideas. that martha.

here's hers:

That damn cake has been staring at me from the cover of a magazine on the floor of my bathroom for the past week or two. It looks delicious, but way too complicated with those damn star shaped holes. I think I like your version better.
