Steps:
- Combine the granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water and the cardamom pods in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 8 minutes. Add the rhubarb and cook, stirring, until just starting to break down, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and let sit until cooled, about 1 hour. Stir in the strawberries.
- Beat the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and ground cardamom in a large bowl with a mixer until medium peaks form. Slice the angel food cake and top with the strawberry-rhubarb sauce and spiced whipped cream.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh strawberries and rhubarb. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- The cake batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it's too thin, add a little more flour. If it's too thick, add a little more milk.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
- If you don't have an angel food cake pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
