The Ultimate Strawberry Shortcake

Tried the shortcake tonight for a potluck. It went together very easy--especially after I decided it would be easier to gently break the angel food into small chunks instead of cutting into cubes--I think it came out the same in the end. I envisioned it being cake height, but in actuality it was only about an inch high and a bit difficult to serve in intact squares. As was mentioned in another review, served up in spoonfuls after failed attempt at squares. The flavor was very good though--everyone loved it. UPDATE: Made the a second time this week. Tried to be even more gentle when folding in the cake pieces. I put it in a 8" trifle-style bowl and I was happier with the results.

At first I thought this would be like regular strawberry shortcake. Wrong! The cream cheese mixture, along with the angel food chunks, make a delicious cake that cuts beautifully and taste great. Garnished with strawberries ... it's a winner. i would suggest more strawberries than the recipe calls for.

Yummmmy! I think next time I am going to double the batch and make it in a trifle bowl and layer the shortcake then strawberries and so on. A great summer dessert.

I want to be adopted by Inez Wallenborg! This tastes incredible - and it's so quick & easy to make. My husband, whose usual food comments range from "Uck" to "This is really good", told me that this was "the best dessert he had ever eaten". Very high praise, indeed.

Made this for a potluck this past weekend. It was the first thing to disappear! I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 since I think it's a little dry. I spread about 4 oz. of cool whip on top of the cake before I put on the strawberries, this made it just perfect. I agree w/one other reviewer that using more strawberries is a good thing. I used almost 1 1/2 pounds, cut into thirds, since my berries were large. Thanks! Great easy dessert.
