Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake
- 2 cups mixed fresh fruit (berries, bananas, etc.)
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Begin by carefully removing the angel food cake from its packaging and placing it on a large serving platter or cake stand.

- Arrange the mixed fresh fruits decoratively over the whipped cream, covering the cake's surface in an appealing pattern.
- Optionally, dust the top with additional powdered sugar for extra sweetness and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the dessert for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
- Slice and serve chilled, ensuring each portion includes cake, cream, and a variety of fresh fruits.
