Ingredients
- 1 store-bought angel food cake (about 10 inches in diameter)
- 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice (about 15–20 key limes)
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
Instructions
- Prepare the Angel Food Cake: Place the whole angel food cake on a serving plate. If desired, slice the cake into individual portions for easier serving.
- Soak the Cake with Key Lime Juice: Evenly drizzle the fresh key lime juice over the angel food cake, allowing the juice to soak into the cake layers. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes so the flavors meld and the cake becomes lightly moistened.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spread or pipe the whipped topping generously over the soaked cake. Make sure to cover the top completely for a smooth, creamy finish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors set and keep the whipped topping firm. Serve chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed key lime juice for the best authentic flavor.
- You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream for a richer taste.
- Allowing the cake to soak will give it a moist texture without losing its lightness.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered tightly with plastic wrap; best consumed within 2 days.
