Instructions

  1. Step 1: Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes to prepare for whipping the cream.
  2. Step 2: Pour 2 cups of chilled heavy cream into the cold bowl, add 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, then whip on medium-high speed for 3-5 minutes until soft peaks form, stopping to scrape the bowl once.
  3. Step 3: Place one 1-inch thick slice of angel food cake on a serving plate and spread 1/3 of the whipped cream evenly over the top.
  4. Step 4: Scatter 1/3 cup of sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup of blueberries evenly over the whipped cream layer.
  5. Step 5: Repeat the layering process two more times with remaining cake slices, whipped cream, and berries, finishing with a top layer of whipped cream and berries arranged decoratively.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate the assembled cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and cream to set.
