Steps:
- You can either make the angel food cake from a mix (you just add water), or purchase pre-made from a grocery store. A few notes on making angel food cake: you need to let it cool completely in the pan and you need to let it cool upside-down or on its side. My mother also told me not to use a silicone pan because the cake can't cool property in a silicone pan. Once the cake is completely cooled, remove it from the pan. Then using a serrated knife, cut the top off of the cake, starting from about 1 inch down from the top of the cake. See the photos and this is make much more sense. Then use the knife to cut out some of the inside of the cake. Next, make the frosting. Combine the whipping cream, sugar, cocoa, salt, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer until stiff. Fill the scooped out section of the cake with frosting and raspberries. Place the top back on the cake. Frost the cake! Top with toasted almonds with you like. Keep the cake chilled until you are ready to serve it.

ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH YUMMY CHOCOLATE WHIPPED CREAM ICING
This frosting adds so much to a plain Angel Food Cake. I have had good luck with both purchased cakes, cakes from mixes, or cake from scratch (really too much work when the mix is just as good). You could also use this on other cakes but is perfect with the lightness of Angel Food.

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.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting the recipe. This will help the cake batter to come together smoothly.
- Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the cake tough.
- Fold the egg whites into the batter gently. Overmixing will deflate the egg whites and make the cake dense.
- Bake the cake in a tube pan. This will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- For the chocolate whipped cream icing, use heavy cream that is at least 30% fat. This will help the icing to whip up thick and fluffy.
- Be sure to chill the icing for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help it to set properly.
Conclusion:
Angel food cake with chocolate whipped cream icing is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its light and fluffy texture, delicate flavor, and rich chocolate frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
