I made this cake with some modifications and it was a huge delicious hit! First: I just used a white cake mix baked in a bundt pan (for about 36 minutes). I used 1 cup heavy whipping cream with both strawberries and blackberries macerated in some splenda (what I had on hand) for the filling (with cocoa/confectioners' sugar as called for). To frost, I used 8 oz of cool whip mixed with a tablespoon of vanilla and topped with my remaining macerated fruit. DELISH!

I thought long and hard about the special dessert I should make for a multiple family birthday celebration. Taking into account individual tastes ranging from a two-year-old and spanning three generations, this cake could not have been more perfect. As I watched my granddaughter dip her finger into the yummy whipped cream frosting and ultimately shove the angel food cake into her mouth at the same time I doled out a second helping to her granddad, I knew I had made the right choice. I wouldn't change anything about this cake, except I think I might use blueberries in the filling just as a surprise.

This was really good and super simple with a store-bought cake. I think a homemade one would have presented better but I didn't have the time. I concur that the light chocolate flavor is decadent!

I put in 4 tablespoons cocoa and sugar, and when I made the "tunnel" I took the cake pieces, crumbled them, and put them in the filling. Delicious!

This was delicious. Here's a variation..something a bit different; Alternate pieces of angel food cake and sliced strawberries on skewers and serve with dip such as whipped creme and/or chocolate. People jump on these at my parties!

I took out the cocoa, and added a little vanilla to my whipping cream instead. I also just put my strawberries, which I sliced, on top instead of folding them in to the whipping cream. I also added some blueberries for color on the outside of the cake. Looked and tasted great.
