Or is it the other way around? Either way, it's true, along with the fact that it has always been the dessert that says "Mom" to me. She’d let the strawberries sit amongst a dusting of sugar, coaxing out their sweet juices that begged to be absorbed by the light and airy cake and homemade whipped cream. It had been years since I’d had a slice of it, waiting for the day I’d stumble upon a gluten-free angel food cake because I have an intolerance, but that never came to fruition. And when California Giant Berries asked me to share my **Berry Story**, I knew I couldn’t do it without this cake. My mind went to work, thinking of how to create the firm, yet soft structure without gluten, or gums. After several trials, this “from-scratch” version is one that I’m confident you can do! Because I didn’t think many people had an angel food cake pan (in the 1980’s, yes – but not anymore), I decided to make them into minis using a **standard muffin tin**. I can’t quite describe how wonderful it was to have this cake again, just as I had remembered when Mom made it. The way the minis absorbed the strawberry juices, and held it there until fully saturated, kind of like a sponge…. divine. **They had just the right amount of toasty crunch on the outside, and cloud-like fluffiness on the inside**. And a dollop of homemade whipped cream brightened with lemon extract, certainly a dessert from the heavens. Do you have a favorite berry recipe that you make with your mom?
