Take cake (already cooked and cooled,
and removed upside down from pan on a serving plate) and with a long bread
knife, slice roughly 1/2" off the top of the cake.
(When done, you'll have a donut, the diameter of the cake
and 1/2" thick.) Put aside on another plate.
Carefully hollow out the cake (just pull out the Angel Food with you hands,
it gets sticky).
BE CAREFUL to leave at least 1/2" to 1" thick "walls" on the outside, inside
and bottom of the cake. If you make any "holes" in the bottom take piece of
cake and plug the hole up. Put the pieces you pulled out aside, we'll need
those later. Once you finish removing the innards of the cake, it should
resemble a small tube pan
Pour jell-o into a heat-proof bowl and add 1 cup boiling water. Take
strawberries, (washed if fresh, thawed if frozen) and add to jell-o mixture.
If desired, you can slice strawberries. Mix well and set in refrigerator.
You want this to thicken, but NOT set.
If using Dream Whip, prepare two packages per directions. If using
Cool-Whip, read on. Once jell-o mixture has thicken somewhat, mix 2/3 of
Dream/Cool Whip into jell-o. With spoon, put a layer of jell-o mixture into
bottom of cake, then a layer of torn-up cake, and repeat until cake is full.
(Any leftover jell-o, strawberries or cake, can be eaten at this point.
Place "donut" back on top of cake and frost cake with remaining Dream/Cool
Whip.
Cool in fridge for a few hours to let Jell-O set.
