Easy Strawberry Icing For Angelfood Cake

2 INGREDIENT STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl combine the cake mix and the strawberry pie filling. Do not follow the directions on the box. You do not have to add water.
• Mix with a hand mixer and it will break up some of the chunks of strawberries in the pie filling.
• Pour into an UNGREASED 9x13 baking pan.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top begins to brown.
• Cut and serve. I like to serve with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Wash and cut fresh strawberries into bite-size pieces. Freeze until ready to use.
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

STRAWBERRY CREAM ANGEL CAKE

Steps:

• Move oven rack to lowest position (remove other racks). Heat oven to 350°F. In extra-large glass or metal bowl, beat cake mix and cold water with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 1 minute. Pour into ungreased 10-inch angel food (tube) cake pan. (Do not use fluted tube cake pan or 9-inch angel food pan or batter will overflow.)
• Bake 37 to 47 minutes or until top is dark golden brown and cracks feel very dry and are not sticky. Do not under bake. Immediately turn pan upside down onto glass bottle until cake is completely cool, about 2 hours.
• In medium bowl, beat whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold strawberry glaze into whipped cream.
• On serving plate, place cake with browned side down. Frost top and sides of cake with strawberry cream mixture. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• In small bowl, mix strawberries and sugar; refrigerate until serving. Spoon about 1/4 cup chopped strawberry mixture over each serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

ANGEL ICING

Steps:

• Combine the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup, water, cream of tartar, and salt in the top of a double boiler over water that is at a hard boil. Start beating right away with a beater until the mixture stands in stiff peaks. Remove from heat and add vanilla or your favorite flavoring and keep beating until it is thick enough to spread easily.

NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• First, let the strawberries and Cool Whip rest on the counter. The strawberries will mix with the Jell-o better if they're not rock hard, and the Cool Whip will incorporate better if it's a little soft.
• Slice the angel food cake into 1/2 to 1-inch pieces using a serrated knife, and spread half of the angel food cake pieces on the bottom of the 9×13 inch dish. (Or a fun glass dish like a trifle bowl.)
• Bring two cups of water to a boil. In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and Jell-o powder. Stir until fully combined.
• Then, add the frozen strawberries and stir, breaking up the chunks until they have melted. Fold the Cool Whip a few dollops at a time into the strawberry mixture, stirring gently to combine without deflating the dessert. Again, you can leave it a little less than uniformly combined, but you want it well-mixed.
• Spread half the mixture over the cake. Add the remaining cake, then cover with the remaining mix. Spread to ensure the cake is fully covered.
• Alternatively, you can combine all the cake and mix in a large bowl. You may prefer this method if you're serving the dessert in a trifle or glass bowl.
• Chill in the fridge four hours or overnight. If the cake feels wet or jiggles, it's not set.
• To glam it up, you can cover the chilled cake with Cool Whip, or garnish or decorate the top with sliced strawberries.

ANGEL FOOD FROSTING

Steps:

• Mix together and spread on cooled angel food cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries. Can also substitute raspberries and raspberry yogurt.

ANGEL CAKE WITH MERINGUE ICING & STRAWBERRY GANACHE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the egg whites and sugar in a stand mixer and begin to beat on a low speed for a few mins, turn the mixer up and wait another couple of mins before adding the lemon juice, vanilla and a pinch of salt. Turn the mixer up again and whisk on high until you have a thick, soft, shiny meringue with a peak that flops over.
• Fold in the flour with a spatula until there are no lumps left, then scrape the mixture into a 25cm angel cake tin. Bake for 40-45 mins or until the cake is puffed and lightly browned and a skewer comes out clean. Turn the tin upside down - if it doesn't have its own legs, then invert it onto four water glasses or tins of food exactly the same size. Leave to cool completely.
• Run a palette knife around the tin to loosen the cake and gently let it drop out, then set aside on a board or cake stand.
• To make the meringue icing, put the egg whites, sugar, vanilla, pinch of cream of tartar and 100ml water in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and beat it on high speed with an electric whisk for 15 mins or until thick and shiny and standing up in stiff peaks. Ice the cake straight away as the icing will stiffen as it sets. Spread over using a palette knife or use a piping bag to pipe on swirls.
• Put the iced cake in the fridge while you make the strawberry ganache. Put the white chocolate in a small heatproof bowl and set aside. Put the cream and strawberries in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook, stirring all the time, until the strawberries have broken down and the cream starts to simmer. Quickly pour the hot cream mixture over the white chocolate and leave it, without stirring, for 1 min, then add the food colouring and mix until smooth.
• Push through a sieve into a jug (to get rid of the strawberry seeds) then, while it's still runny, pour it over the top of the cake and let it drizzle down the sides. Put the cake back in the fridge for 10-20 mins to set. Just before serving (particularly if it's a hot day), top with the strawberries and your choice of decorations.

EASY NO-BAKE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Using a long serrated knife or bread knife, slice angel food cake into 3 equal horizontal layers. Place the bottom layer onto a freezer-proof plate.
• Remove packaging from the ice cream and slice about 1-inch thick. Working quickly, place ice cream slices on the bottom cake layer, filling the gaps with ice cream and leaving the center unfilled. Lightly press the ice cream pieces together to form a solid layer the same size as the cake layer. Repeat with the second cake layer and remaining ice cream. Top with the final layer of cake and freeze until the ice cream is firm again, about 1 hour.
• Frost the entire cake with whipped topping. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and mint. Serve immediately.
