I have to be honest, right up front: I bought an angel food cake to use for this recipe. Not heating up the kitchen made it totally worth it! That said, I followed the recipe, as written, and the resulting cake/dessert was FAB! It is a little time intensive, but using the already baked cake, made the workload a bit less. I also 'prettied' mine up with extra strawberries, as it was made for our Easter dessert! I know there is a similar one out there, using cool whip; let me say, just make this with whipping cream...it is sooooo worth it! Thanks for sharing, keeney!
