Method
1
Prepare the whipped cream by pouring 2 cups of whipping cream into a chilled mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
2
Sift together the 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, then gently fold into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula until evenly combined.
3
Place the cooled 10-inch angel food cake on a serving plate, then using a serrated knife, horizontally slice the cake into two layers by cutting approximately 1 inch from the top.
4
Spread approximately one-third of the cocoa whipped cream on the bottom layer of the cake using an offset spatula or knife.
5
Arrange half of the halved fresh strawberries over the cocoa cream layer, distributing them evenly across the cake.
6
Place the top layer of cake back onto the frosted bottom layer, pressing gently to secure it.
7
Spread the remaining cocoa whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake using an offset spatula, creating a smooth or decorative finish as desired.
8
Arrange the remaining halved strawberries on top of the cake in a decorative pattern, pressing them slightly into the frosting so they adhere.
