Strawberry Angel Food Cake Dessert (2 Ingredient Recipe) Recipe
Introduction
This Strawberry Angel Food Cake dessert is an incredibly simple and delicious treat made with just two main ingredients. It combines light, fluffy angel food cake mix with sweet strawberry pie filling to create a delightful, no-fuss dessert perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix (just add water variety)
- 21 ounces Strawberry Pie Filling (canned)
- Optional: Cool Whip for topping
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix powder and the strawberry pie filling. Stir together thoroughly using a large spoon or wooden spoon.
- Step 3: Pour the mixture into an ungreased 9×13-inch ceramic baking dish. Do not grease the pan.
- Step 4: Bake for 28 to 33 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Step 5: Allow the cake to cool. It’s normal for the center to fall slightly as it cools. To prevent this, you can invert the pan immediately after baking, using loaf pans or other supports to keep it upside down.
- Step 6: Serve the cake topped with Cool Whip or your favorite whipped topping, and enjoy!
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake mix before combining with pie filling.
- Try substituting the strawberry pie filling with cherry or blueberry for a different fruit twist.
- If you want a lighter topping, use fresh sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream instead of canned pie filling on top.
- Do not grease the pan; the batter sticks better and rises properly without greasing.
Storage
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 15 seconds if desired, or serve cold with whipped topping. The texture may soften over time, so fresh is best.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use a different brand of angel food cake mix?
Yes, as long as the cake mix is the “just add water” kind, you can use other brands. Avoid those requiring additional ingredients like eggs or oil.
Why does the cake fall in the middle after baking?
The moist strawberry filling causes the center to sink as it cools, which is normal. To reduce this, invert the pan immediately after baking to cool upside down using loaf pans or similar supports.
