STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a bowl, mix together the sugar and strawberry powder.
• Sift together 3/4 cup of sugar mix and the flour three times. Set it aside.

STRAWBERRY ANGEL FOOD LUSH

Steps:

• Pour over the top of the cool whip layer and spread evenly using a spatula.
• Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving, you can refrigerate up to 3 days!

STRAWBERRY ANGEL-FOOD TRIFLE

Steps:

• Place the strawberries and sugar in a saucepan. Heat gently until the strawberries are soft and the sugar has dissolved. Allow the juices to reduce slightly, until they have the consistency of a thin syrup. Let cool.
• Tear fist-sized pieces from the angel-food cake and use them to line the bottom of a large, clear bowl or trifle dish. Cover with a layer of Greek yogurt and a layer of strawberries in syrup, filling in any holes in the previous layer. Add another layer of cake and continue building until all the ingredients have been used, ending with a few spoonfuls of yogurt and strawberries as a garnish.

LIGHT LAYERED ANGEL FOOD DESSERT (LOW-FAT)

Steps:

• Get your three main ingredients prepared and then it's just a matter of assembly.
• First, thaw strawberries. Mash up any large chunks; mix in balsamic vinegar. You'll be dividing this for TWO layers. Set aside.
• Second, cut angel food cake into slices no more than 1" thick. You'll be dividing this for THREE layers, so try to get 18 slices.
• Third, just before assembly, mix UNdrained pineapple, dry pudding mix and 1/2 the thawed Cool Whip. You'll be dividing this for TWO layers. It will start to firm up as it sits, so you'll want to do your assembly as soon as this mixture is ready.
• Assembly: I use a 9" square glass baking dish. Arrange angel food slices, pineapple/pudding mix, strawberries. Repeat those three layers so now you have six layers. The next layer will be angel food cake. The top layer will be the remaining Cool Whip. Feel free to garnish with some fresh fruit.
• Chill in refrigerator several hours in order for the cake to absorb the moisture and flavor.
• If you have a clear glass trifle bowl, this dessert will be as delightful to look at as it is to eat!
