Parties should be about people. Visiting, talking, laughing and enjoy each others company. Party food should be an accompaniment to the people not the focus of the evening. Party planning shouldn't be so stressful that the host or hostess doesn't get to sit down and enjoy his or her own guests. There are a lot of ways to avoid party stress and the big stress saver is in the food that is served. Casual parties and casual clothes need casual food.
Berry Angel Fluff Cake
- 1 angel food cake
- 1 vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 8 oz package cream cheese
- 4 cups of frozen or fresh berries of any kind
- 1 container of Cool Whip frozen whipped topping thawed
Put the cream cheese out the night before so it is soft or micro wave for 1 minute at a time till soft. Cut the angel food cake into 3 even layers. It is easiest to do this with a sharp, wet knife. Make up the vanilla pudding as per package directions. Beat in the cream cheese. Smooth half the mixture over the bottom layer of the cake. Top with the second layer of cake. Spoon the rest of the mixture over the second layer and top with the last layer. Chill. Puree 3 cups of the berries and reserve the other cup of berries for garnish. Before the party starts take out the cake and Cool Whip. Spoon the Cool Whip over the entire cake with a spatula. It can be done very quickly and you don't need to smooth it out. Remember to spoon some into the hole. Take 1 cup of the berry puree and drizzle it over the cake. Put some whole berries on for garnish. Put the remaining puree in a bowl and set in on the table beside the cake. When it is served the guests can spoon more puree over their slice if they want to.
