Method
 

Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat your oven and mix the angel food cake according to the package directions, ensuring not to grease the tube pan.
  2. Bake until lightly golden and springs back when touched.
Cooling
  1. Once baked, invert the tube pan onto a wire rack or a bottle to cool completely for about an hour.
Prepare Strawberry Gelatin
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until crystal clear.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of cold water to cool the gelatin.
  3. Add the miniature marshmallows and stir gently until they soften.
Assemble
  1. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a spatula.
  2. Slice the cooled angel food cake into two layers and pour half of the strawberry marshmallow mixture over the bottom layer.
  3. Top with half of the sliced strawberries.
  4. Place the top layer on and pour the remaining mixture over it, finishing with the rest of the strawberries on top.
Chill and Serve
  1. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal) before serving.
  2. When ready to serve, cut into slices and enjoy.

Notes

For a time-saving trick, use pre-sliced strawberries. If the cake doesn’t rise, ensure the tube pan wasn’t greased. Flavor variations include swapping strawberries for raspberries or blueberries.
