Some of our favorite recipes came from friends and family. This Strawberry Angel Food Cake is one of those recipes.
{In my best singing voice: Summer, Summer, Summertime. Time to sit back and unwind….}
One of the summer’s best desserts ever possible ever in the whole entire universe is this Strawberry Angel Food Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Reddi-Wip. Truth is, I’m not even bein’ paid to say that yo! Listen, I know what you are thinking…you have your very own Homemade Whipped Cream recipe, why would you use the store bought stuff?
Well my love, there’s a time and a place for everything. I didn’t have Heavy Whipping Cream and my Hubby REALLY loves Reddi-Wip. Like come Thanksgiving time I’ve got two cans on hand, just in case. Jas won’t eat Pumpkin Pie or Kentucky Bourbon Pie without it. I don’t blame him, I don’t either!
For me, some of it is memories from my childhood. We always ate Reddi-Wip. Never the other stuff….dare I say it?!? It brings me back to sitting around the table with my cousins. Laughing and giggling. Chasing each other out back at our Grandma’s house. The brown carpet that was in the kitchen {that still makes me question WTH!?!} and the fun we had as kids. Those memories are what I hope my own children cherish and part of the reason why I started MyHeavenlyRecipes.com.
I want my children to have the recipes of their childhood at their disposal. Whether it’s here, if I get my act together and get a cook book going, etc. There’s so many recipes that I wasn’t able to get from my Grandmothers that I wish I had. I’ll never be able to recreate them because I was just a little girl. Like that oil dripping thing in my Grandma’s house. I’ll never forget that and when I talk about it to people they have no idea what the hell I’m even talking about. It’s the little things from my childhood that I remember.
What do you remember about your own childhood? I’d love to hear them!
This is another recipe from my friend Danielle. I’m pretty sure we probably had this on a night we had Steak & Chicken Kabobs together because that was another recipe I got from her! You see how that works?!? Danielle and I are both raising children and trying to do our best on a daily basis. Quick & easy desserts such as this one is what our lives are about right now. Entertaining on a budget, while enjoying delicious foods and not having to spend hours in the kitchen. This Strawberry Angel Food Cake dessert is all of it and one my entire family LOVES!
I hope you’ll grab a pre-made Angel Food Cake at your local bakery or grocery store. I happened to buy mine at Kroger, because, well….CLICKLIST baby! The organic strawberries have been amazing and we almost always have Vanilla Bean Ice Cream on hand because it’s so versatile. If you are having guests over go ahead and throw it in a Trifle Bowl, there just can’t be any leftovers. Now if you want to have a few desserts in a week don’t add all the ingredients together. You’ll want to cut a slice of Angel Food Cake in a bowl, top it with strawberries and a tablespoon or so of Orange Juice. Then serve with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Reddi-Wip.
