Notes
Recipe Tips:
When you're folding in the strawberries, go gently so they don’t turn to mush. I like to let the whole dessert chill overnight. That way, the flavors come together even better. And if you want a beautiful presentation, use a glass dish so you can see all those pretty pink layers peeking through.
Recipe Variations:
You can totally make this gluten-free with a store-bought gluten-free angel food cake. Want to change things up? Try adding some blueberries, raspberries, or even peaches instead of strawberries.
