Angel Food Custard Cake and Berries:

Ingredients for Angel Food Cake:

12 eggs
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
Directions

Step 1:
Separate eggs and discard yolks. Measure egg whites, adding or removing whites as needed to equal 1-1/2 cups. Place in a mixing bowl, let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Step 2:
Sift confectioners' sugar and flour together three times, set aside.

Step 3:
Add cream of tartar, extracts and salt to egg whites, beat on high speed.

Step 4:
Gradually add sugar, beating until sugar is dissolved and stiff peaks form. Fold in flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time.

Step 5:
Gently spoon into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Cut through batter with a knife to remove air pockets.

Step 6:
Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Immediately invert pan; cool completely before removing cake from pan.

Or do what I did and buy one from your local grocery store. :D

Custard recipe is at this site: Vanilla Custard Recipe

And for the cream on top just blend some heavy whipping cream, about a cup, and wait until slightly stiff. Slice some strawberries any way and decorate as shown in the pic, or get creative. The custard is in between the cake which I had cut in half. :] I zested some fresh lemons and sprinkled it on top. Super yummy. You can also decide to drench your cake in liquor. I happened to make one drenched in peach flavored liquor. It adds a very nice bite.

Enjoy!
