Clock

Ingredients

  • 1½ Tbsp unflavored gelatin
  • ⅓ cup plus 5 Tbsp cold lemonade, divided
  • ¼ cup boiling-hot lemonade
  • 3 cups heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Combine gelatin and 5 Tbsp cold lemonade in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes or until gelatin is softened. Pour boiling-hot lemonade over gelatin mixture, stirring until gelatin is dissolved.
  2. Meanwhile, beat cream at high speed with an electric mixer until thickened; gradually add ⅓ cup sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Add gelatin mixture, ⅓ cup cold lemonade, and lemon zest, beating until just blended.
  3. Process halved strawberries and ¼ cup sugar in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  4. Arrange one-third angel food cake in a lightly greased 10-inch tube pan. Spread one-third cream mixture in an even layer over cake, pressing down gently. Spread one-third strawberry mixture over cream.
  5. Repeat layers twice. Reserve remaining strawberry mixture. Cover and chill 8 hours to 2 days.
  6. Invert cake onto a platter, and spread with reserved strawberry mixture. Top cake with sliced strawberries.
