My favorite way to fix an Angel Food Cake:
you slice off the top, set it aside, pinch out a trench around the cake, then layer in sliced bananas, Cool Whip, layer of strawberries, Cool Whip, layer of pineapple and more Cool Whip. Return the ring of cake you sliced off earlier and then frost the entire cake with Cool Whip.
We really like to use real whipped cream but found that depending on the weather if it will stay fluffy, so Cool Whip or Dream Whip will work.

My mother used to do the instant pudding and Dream Whip frosting - I loved it!

The problem is - the cake needs to be eaten quickly. Since it is just the two of us now I don't make it anymore.

If you like chocolate, melt down a large Hersey bar with almonds (or without if desired), beat up some Dream Whip and combine the two. Cut out big chunks from around the top of the angel food cake leaving the edges intact and put some of the chocolate/whip mixture down in the holes. Replace the chunks of cake. It is not the prettiest to display but it is certainly yummy! Oh makes me want to go make some now but I don't have any on the ingredients on hand.
Rats!

Try homemade or commercial lemon curd,topped by whipped cream. Yumm!

Also try using strawberries thickened, and a big dollop of vanilla Greek yogurt. Healthier strawberry shortcake!

I agree, blueberries would be great also.

Make the batter as recipe directs. Line a jellyroll pan with waxed paper. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake until done, about 20 to 25 minute. When baked run a knife around the edges and turn out onto a tea towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Peel off the waxed paper immediately let cool 5 minutes. Roll up in the towel like a jelly roll until it is cooled completely. Unroll and spread sweetened whipped cream on top, top with sliced strawberries and roll it up. Chill for several hours. Yum! DH has this for his birthday every year. Also good with other berries.
