Method
Cake
Prepare the Angel Food Cake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Mix Dry Ingredients
Sift together the cake flour. Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Add vanilla extract.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into an ungreased angel food cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and springs back when touched. Invert the pan to cool completely.
Strawberry Sauce
Make the Strawberry Sauce
In a saucepan, combine fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool.
Whipped Cream
Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until soft peaks form.
Assembly
Assemble the Parfait
Once the angel food cake is cool, cut it into cubes. In serving glasses, layer the cake cubes, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and sliced strawberries. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled. Top with whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves.
