Great recipe! Easy and pretty, tastes so good you need seconds and thirds!! I have made it twice- what I did was put about 1/4 c. powdered sugar instead of granulated in with the whipping cream along with a tsp. of vanilla. I also put whipping cream (unwhipped) instead of the 3 tbs. regular milk in with the cream cheese, I also added 1 tsp. of vanilla to that. I didn't use the orange juice ingredient at all. The last thing I did was add fresh raspberries in with the fresh strawberries. I thought it would be soggy by morning and it wasn't, the cream cheese filling keeps the berry juices from sinking into the cake too much. Plus I didn't brush on the OJ either. Happy Summer everyone!

This is absolutely wonderful!!!! It is delicious and beautiful. I had to make my own angel food cake because it is the off season. I had never made one before and I managed to let it deflate some in the process of getting it out of the oven. Still it looked beautiful. I will definitely be making this again.Thank you for a wonderful recipe. Made for Photo Tag 07
