Ingredients Needed

Please note that you can print the list of ingredients needed and the full recipe below. 

• Angel Food Cake (Betty Crocker Box Mix) – Honestly, this boxed mix is a lifesaver. It bakes up tall, fluffy, and perfectly golden with just water—no separating eggs or complicated steps. I love how light and airy it turns out, and it’s the perfect base for soaking up the strawberry filling.
• Frozen sweetened strawberries – These are my go-to shortcut for making the filling—no hulling or slicing needed! They’re already sweetened and full of flavor, and when warmed up, they turn into the dreamiest strawberry sauce with just a little help.
• Cornstarch – This is my thickening secret. It helps turn the strawberry liquid into a luscious, jammy filling that sits beautifully between layers of the cake without soaking through.
• Cold water – You need cold water to dissolve the cornstarch properly—if you skip this step or use hot water, you’ll end up with lumps. Trust me, I’ve learned that the hard way!
• Powdered sugar (optional) – This is my finishing touch. A dusting of powdered sugar makes the cake look so elegant and bakery-worthy. Plus, it adds a light sweetness that pairs perfectly with the tart strawberries.

How to Make Strawberry Angel Food Cake

STEP ONE: Make your Angel Food Cake based on the box instructions.

STEP TWO: To make your strawberry swirl (this is all homemade). Place frozen sweetened strawberries in a blender or food processor and pulse until slightly broken down. You will want to make sure that you have no large chunks.

STEP THREE: Then, place chunked strawberries and cornstarch in a saucepan and simmer until thickened. Remove from the heat and your strawberry puree to cool completely. 

STEP FOUR: Next, place half your batter in your pan. Then swirl your blended strawberries using a piping bag or sandwich bag with the corner snipped. Then cover the strawberry swirl with the remaining cake batter.

STEP FIVE: Bake your cake. You will follow the baking directions as written on your cake box. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely before removing it from the pan.

STEP SIX: The last and final step is to lightly dust it with powdered sugar. After your cake has cooled.
