Awesome! This gives a whole new meaning to strawberry shortcake. Great dessert for after any meal and a definite crowd pleaser and easy to prepare. (cooking time is estimated chill time.)

This was fabulous! I added the entire tub of Cool Whip, just to stretch things out and it got rave reviews from everyone! No way will it serve 24 people....well, at least 24 sane people, because you're crazy if you don't want a bigger helping!

    Just made this for a Father's Day dinner and it's to 'die for'!!!!! Instead of vanilla and almond extract used Amaretto liquore! Did not have angel food cake so cut up squares of pound cake! Also used fresh whipped cream! Thanks Anita for a great recipe!

    I served this for an Easter luncheon and it drew raves. Everyone really liked it alot. It combines the flavors of strawberry shortcake and a mild cheesecake-like taste. I would make a few changes when I make it again. I added 8ozs of cool whip this time (not a cup) and would increase it next time to get a fluffier filling. Mine was a bit dry. Maybe I had a larger cake? I also think I will start the layering next time with the cake mixture instead of the strawberries. I also don't think it serves anywhere near 24. If you need it to set out SMALL bowls. This is a definite repeat and easy to prepare. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

    This is awesome! I've given out the recipe to about 5 people so far who tasted it! It's creamy, refreshing, light and delicious and looks so pretty in the trifle bowl! I can't get over how creamy the sour cream, cream cheese and cool whip are together and with the chunks of angel food cake and strawberries - it's pure heaven!! I made it exactly as the recipe says except for adding an 8 ounce container of Cool Whip rather than 1 cup (which since 1 cup is also 8 ounces could it be volume vs. weight - which I never did understand!) I will make this often! Thanks for sharing such an awesome recipe!!
