Heavenly Dove
Ingredients:
– 1 store-bought angel food cake
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1/3 cup powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
– Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by slicing the angel food cake horizontally into three equal layers. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.
3. Place the bottom layer of the angel food cake on a serving platter. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top, then scatter a handful of mixed berries over the cream.
4. Gently place the second layer of cake on top of the berries and repeat the process – spread whipped cream and top with more mixed berries.
5. Place the final layer of cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula for a clean finish.
6. Decorate the top of the cake with an artful arrangement of mixed berries and a few fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
7. Chill the Heavenly Dove in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. When ready to serve, slice the cake with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Enjoy the light and airy combination of flavors and textures!
