Start by gathering your three essential ingredients: a ready-made angel food cake, whipped topping, and fresh strawberries. Ensure the strawberries are ripe and juicy for the best flavor.

Wash and slice the fresh strawberries into thin slices or bite-sized pieces, allowing their vibrant color and sweetness to shine through.

In your serving dish, start layering by placing a base of sliced angel food cake at the bottom. Spread a layer of whipped topping over the cake, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat until you run out of supplies.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.

After chilling, remove the cake from the refrigerator and garnish with additional sliced strawberries and fresh mint leaves before serving.
