Happy Valentine's Day


Happy Valentine's Day

Last night the 9-year-old and I made Strawberry Sparkle cake for our Valentine's Day meal.
It's easy to do.
Just take a serrated knife and cut the top off an Angel Food Cake. (about 1 inch thick or less)
Put aside.
make Strawberry jello
partially thaw frozen sliced strawberries.
Instead of adding water or ice to the hot jello -- put the frozen sliced strawberries in the jello
mix
While the other person is mixing the strawberry and jello mixture and waiting for it to soft-jell, you begin taking chunks out of the center of the angel food cake, leaving a 1-inch wall on the sides and bottom.
Throw all these angel food cake chunks into the jello, too.
Now pour the almost jelled jello into the cavity you have made.
Place the top of the angel food cake back on.

If you want to hide all this work -- lightly frost with cool whip or frosting. (watch out -- sweet frosting makes the jello center taste sour.)
Let sit in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
Serve in slices.
Enjoy
YUM !
