Individual Angel Berry Dessert Cakes
(recipe from InnCuisine.com, adapted from Betty Crocker)
- 4 individual-sized angel food cakes (from your favorite bakery or grocery store)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup each assorted berries, at least 3 different varieties (sliced strawberries, whole blueberries, halved blackberries or raspberries)
- optional – fresh mint to garnish
In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in vanilla yogurt until combined. Slice individual-sized angel food cakes in half creating separate top and bottom portions. Using approximately 2-3 teaspoonfuls, spread whipped vanilla topping on (top of the) bottom portion of cake, topping with assorted fresh berries. Next (again using approximately 2-3 teaspoonfuls), spread whipped topping on underside of top half of cake and place atop exposed berries on bottom portion. Add approximately 2-3 teaspoonfuls of whipped vanilla topping to top of cake and garnish with sliced, halved or whole berries of your choosing. If desired, add a sprig of fresh mint for additional color (and flavor) to garnish.
Yield: 4 individual servings

I am more than happy to be the first to comment on this cool recipe! The presentation is gorgeous!
So pretty and delicious. I made your raspberry ripple tea cake yesterday, and I wanted to thank you. It was soooo good! My sister, who said she hated anything jammy, probably ate half the cake herself. It will definitely be made over and over again!
Lovely spring dessert! The yogurt in the cream is a very nice touch. Definitely something we’d enjoy…
Those photos are a slice of heaven Sandie. I love how the berries pop against the snowy white cream!
aaaah, these are just luscious. they’re absolutely spring-appropriate, but i’d enjoy them any time of the year and any time of day (or night). perfect creation, sandie!
Oh that just says SPRING to me!
It’s beautiful and spring-like. Great idea!
These would certainly be up there with one of my favourtite breakfasts Sandie:D
Fantastic photos! The colors of the berries are gorgeous! Thanks for the recipe! I’ve made something similar but with cool whip & pudding. Yogurt and whipped cream sounds even better!
