The recipe calls for a store-bought angel food cake, but I make Grandma Leu's recipe (posted on the blog). It is a ton of work, but it is by far the best angel food cake out there. This is a low-fat dessert that absolutely everyone loves. Eat it the same day you make it.
4 cups sliced strawberries
3/4 cup sugar, divided
2 Tbs evaporated milk
8 oz low-fat cream cheese (not fat-free)
1 (10-inch) angel food cake
3 Tbs Triple Sec orange flavored liqueur
8 oz reduced calorie Cool Whip, thawed
2 Tbs almond slices, toasted
Combine strawberries and 1/4 cup sugar in a small bowl. Cover and let sit for one hour. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, milk, and cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat at medium speed on mixer until smooth.
Cut cake in three layers, horizontally, using a serrated knife. Place bottom layer, cut side up, on a serving plate. Brush with 1 Tbs liqueur and spread half of cream cheese mixture over cake. Using a slotted spoon, spoon 1/3 of strawberries over the cream cheese layer. Repeat layers, ending with cake and liqueur. Spread whipped topping on top and sides of cake. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
Arrange the remaining strawberries on top of cake before serving. Sprinkle with almonds.
