Talk about a dessert that pops off the plate! Sometimes I make this easy cake even more eye-catching by tinting the whipped cream. Use whatever sherbet flavor combination you like. —Bonnie Hawkins, Elkhorn, Wisconsin

Rainbow Sherbet Angel Food Cake

Yield: 12 servings
Prep: 25 min

Ingredients

  • 1 prepared angel food cake (8 to 10 ounces)
  • 3 cups rainbow sherbet, softened if necessary
  • whipped cream:
    • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
    • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Using a long serrated knife, cut cake horizontally into 4 layers. Place bottom layer on a freezer-safe serving plate; spread with 1 cup sherbet. Repeat twice with middle cake layers and remaining 2 cups sherbet. Top with remaining cake layer. Freeze, covered, until sherbet is firm, about 1 hour.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form. Frost top and side of cake. Freeze until firm.
  3. Thaw in refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Cut cake with a serrated knife.
