    Discover Our Deliciously Fresh Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

    Strawberry shortcake is certainly one of the best cake recipes ever. Garnished with whipped cream, it is perfectly sweet while also being ultra light!

    What to serve with angel food cake

    Accompany this cake with whole strawberries, sliced strawberries, or with a strawberry filling to make a decadent dessert. For some additional freshness, add a bit of lemon zest to the recipe!

    Angel food cake is ideal to make during strawberry season. Plus, you can go pick your own strawberries. One litre of fresh Quebec strawberries is better than any frozen or imported varieties!

    Preparing the cake

    Making a delicious cake is quite simple. You will need a few dry ingredients such as white flour, sugar, and tartar and egg white cream. You will then have to create stiff peaks using a hand mixer. Finally, you can choose to cook your cake in multiple small molds or one big springform or bundt pan.

    Also, use a bread knife to cut this cake easily! And to make an extra large cake, make sure to remove any oil residue from your bowl. Otherwise, it will not expand as much.
