A Very Berry Angel Food Cake
/The perfect Red, White & Blue Soiree Dessert (Serves 8)
Angel Food Cake is a refreshingly light-weight summer delight, the perfect red, white & blue warm-weather confection for an All-American Outdoor Cook. Smother with a deliciously light and fluffy whipped creme, an abundance of fresh mixed berries, sprigs of fresh mint from your garden and !VOILA! MAGIC HAPPENS!
Angel Food Cake is said to be "so light that angels could eat it and still fly without being weighted down”

I’m all about easy summertime living and the value of time-saving store-bought products. For this recipe, I use a store-bought Angel Food Cake and it’s always delicious!
Ingredients
1 8 oz container of Cool Whip

1 Basket of Blueberries
1 Basket of Blackberries
Fresh Mint for Garnish
Let’s Cook!
Thaw the container of Cool Whip (comes frozen)
Slice cake horizontally into three even layers
Clean and cut hulled strawberries, clean rest of berries, dry and mix all together
Mound a thick layer of Cool Whip on the first layer
Spoon berries on top
Repeat with remaining layers
Mound a thick layer of Cool Whip on top of third layer, top with berries
