So it's not my birthday - we're still about 2 months away from that. But this week was one of those weeks for both Ryan and I. We were both in the mood for something fresh and I wanted to "spoil" myself with something I thought I'd never have again - birthday cake!
When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with strawberry shortcake (the character... and the food!) Around the age of 9 or 10, I started asking for angel food cake with strawberries for my birthday cake. My mother happily obliged and it became my go to for special celebrations. I never knew that there was a SUGAR FREE version of angel food cake, but I found one in the store the other night! It has 16 sugar alcohols for 1/5 of the cake, but for the tiny pieces I was serving, it was about 1/15th of the cake - so no worries there.
Now that I've discovered this, it will be hard to wait for my birthday in June to have it again. I'm thinking I might try a truffle of some sort for Memorial Day weekend =)
Ingredients:
Store bought sugar free angel food cake, strawberries, sugar free or light whip cream, equal or another sweetener substitute. (Optional berries to add in: blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.)
Directions:
Cut cake into small pieces (10 to 15 slices per cake). Slice up strawberries and mix with other berries. Cover berries with 6-8 packets of equal and stir. Layer berries over cake and serve with a dollop of whip cream.
