Something Sweet... Chocolate Strawberries & Whipped Cream... need I say more?



Somethin’ Sweet!

Sometimes I get this crazy insane craving for something sweet!  Ok, who am I kidding… it’s on a daily basis that I have a crazy insane craving for something sweet… but as we all know, I am NOT a baker, so it’s gotta be super simple. 

How does this sound… CHOCOLATE ANGEL FOOD CAKE with fresh whipped cream and strawberties!   Well, it sounds darn good to me!

And the best part is, it doesn’t require a whole lotta “baking” skill to make!

Chocolate Angel Cake

1 ¼ cups egg whites
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup flour (cake flour if you can)
½ cup granulated sugar
5 tbs. cocoa powder

Beat the egg whites until they are frothy… add the salt & cream of tartar.. continue to beat to soft peaks.  Gradually add in ¾ cup sugar… Add vanilla… continue to beat…in a bowl, sift the flour and cocoa and fold it into the egg white mixture.  Bake in an ungreased bundt pan on 325 degrees for 50 minutes to 1 hour…

**options**
Can add almond extract, lemon extract, coconut extract… play around with the flavors!

Now… let’s pump the brakes for a minute!  If you absolutely can’t get in the kitchen and bake… run on over to your local super market and they most likely will have some angel food cake already prepared… then jump on over to this next part and you’re almost in Chocolate Strawberry Heaven!


Whip the cream to stiff peaks


Slice your cake into 3 layers.... add a layer of whipped cream and top with strawberries... do the same with the following layer.... put the top layer on and enjoy!!!




YUM YUM YUM!!!!
