Ingredients

Scale

Angel Food Cake

  • 16 ounces Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix (just add water variety)

Filling

  • 21 ounces Strawberry Pie Filling (canned)

Optional Topping

  • Cool Whip or whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients including the angel food cake mix, strawberry pie filling, and optional Cool Whip for topping.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper heat for baking.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the angel food cake mix powder and the strawberry pie filling. Stir thoroughly using a large spoon or wooden spoon until well blended.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into an ungreased 9×13-inch ceramic baking dish. Important: Do not grease the pan as this affects the cake’s texture.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 33 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the cake is set.
  6. Cool Cake: After baking, allow the cake to cool. It is normal for the cake to fall in the center as it cools. To minimize this, immediately invert the pan upside down using loaf pans or other supports to aid cooling.
  7. Serve: Once cooled, serve the cake as is or topped with Cool Whip or whipped cream and sprinkles for a festive touch.

Notes

  • Do not grease the baking pan; the cake needs to adhere slightly to achieve the proper texture.
  • Falling in the middle after baking is normal for this recipe and does not indicate undercooking.
  • Inverting the cake immediately after baking can reduce center collapse.
  • For an extra festive presentation, top with whipped cream and sprinkles just before serving.
  • If you prefer, fresh strawberries can be used instead of canned pie filling, but adjust moisture accordingly.
