The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift
Just in case it’s not on your radar yet (hint, hint Dan), Mother’s Day is quickly approaching.
As a mother myself, I can wholeheartedly say that I would love one of two things on Mother’s Day…
- A heavenly slice of Angel Food Cake with fresh strawberries and homemade Almond Whipped Cream
- The KitchenAid Mixer of my dreams
Good thing this post gives you a chance for BOTH of those!
KitchenAid Mixer Giveaway
In addition to a delicious and simple Mother’s Day Dessert Recipe, I’ve teamed up with some of my fellow food bloggers to give one lucky reader a chance to win a KitchenAid Mixer!
Who wouldn’t love to wrap that up for their mom? (Or themselves!)

Angel Food Cake with Strawberries and Almond Whipped Cream
This light and fresh cake is so delicious and one of my favorites. Topped with fresh berries and almond whipped cream, it’s a great way to celebrate the mother in your life.
I used mini tube pans to create these mini angel food cakes, but the recipe is for a full size angel food cake. If you do use mini pans, only fill about 3/4 of the way full or the cake will rise well above the pan.
I also highly recommend not skimping on the homemade whipped cream. It only takes a few minutes and the taste just can’t be beat!
