Betty's Elegant and Dramatic Strawberry Cream Cake Recipe

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make an Elegant and Dramatic Strawberry Cream Cake. It is lighter on the calories than most cakes, plus it is beautiful, and it tastes superb!

Ingredients:

1 angel food cake (I purchased mine from the deli section of my supermarket. You may make a homemade angel food cake, if you prefer.)
2 cups fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
8 oz. package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon almond extract
8 oz. carton frozen whipped topping, thawed (I used about ½ of the carton.)
additional sliced strawberries for garnish (optional)

Remove the angel food cake from its container, and invert it onto a cake stand or cake plate. Cut a ¾-inch slice horizontally from the top of the cake and set it aside, remembering the orientation (for placing it back on top later). Now, cut about ½-inch from the center hole and ½-inch from the outer edge of the cake with a sharp knife, hollowing out a channel between the inner and outer edges of the cake. Carefully cut and pull cake pieces out with your fingers, leaving about ½-inch layer of cake on the bottom. Reserve the removed cake pieces. Beat 8 oz. cream cheese with a mixer, until light and fluffy. Add 14 oz. sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat well, until smooth and combined. Fold in reserved cake pieces and 2 cups sliced strawberries. Spoon into channel formed by removing cake pieces. Spread the mixture gently, but pack it well enough that there are no unfilled holes. (You will probably have some strawberry cream filling left over; it makes a delicious snack!) Top the cake with the reserved ¾-inch cake slice. Refrigerate 8 hours, or overnight. Frost with as much of an 8 oz. carton of whipped topping as desired. Garnish with strawberry slices. Cover cake with plastic wrap (see Bettys Quick Tip 14 for how to do this), and refrigerate until ready to serve. This is the most gorgeous cake ever!

Many years ago an aunt of mine used to make a Banana Split cake that tasted just like an ice cream banana split! Do you have any sort of recipe for something like that? If i recall it was a refrigerator type cake with pineapple strawberries and chocolate with whipped topping and nuts. Love your channel and was just back home in Richmond last week. The whole time there I was hoping to run into you LOL!

@beautyandbrains162 Thanks for your sweet comment! I do have the recipe for Bana Split Cake; I just haven't gotten around to making it. I will put it on my (long) list of "to do" recipes. I wish we had met while you were in Richmond; that would have been a treat for me!

Its a nice finish but that whipped topping doesn't have much of a taste. Keep going strong though I like listening to you instruct =)

[bettyskitchen]

@Kinvishi You may replace the whipped topping with a mixture of cream cheese frosting and whipped cream--to your taste. It will be tasty and sturdy. I was just trying to keep it simple.
