Angel Food Cake and Strawberry Cups
Angel Food Cake and Strawberry Cups are individual servings of angel food cake, sliced strawberries topped with a delicious vanilla buttercream that brings the whole dessert together. The creaminess of the buttercream together with the strawberries and cake really are a divine combination.
Servings: 15 cups
Ingredients
- 1 store bought angel food cake
- 1 lb strawberries
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 6 cups powdered sugar
- 6 tbsp milk
- 4 tsp vanilla (clear)
- 15 clear plastic cups
Instructions
- Cut the angel food cake into 1 inch cubes.
- Wash and dice the strawberries into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Add the butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla to the bowl of a stand mixer. Starting very slowly and gaining speed gradually, mix the ingredients together.
- Once all of the ingredients are incorporated, turn them mixer on high and whip for 2-3 minutes.
- If the frosting is a bit stiff for your liking, just add a little more milk. If it is too soft, add some more powdered sugar. This buttercream is very forgiving.
- To assemble, place a good handful of angel food cake into the bottom of each clear cup.
- Top the angel food cake with diced strawberries.
- Pipe the buttercream onto the top of the cup.
- The cups are ready to be served. These do not need to be refrigerated, and will keep well at room temperature for several hours.
