We have the complete recipe along with a few tips and tricks that will help you make this cake like a pro. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few pro tips and tricks that will help make this dessert to perfection:

  • If you are making an angel cake from starch, then make sure to completely cool it before making this cake. It will help you cut the cake easily and will not melt the ingredients like pudding and cream.
  • Always use a serrated knife for cutting the cake into pieces; it will give you even cuts without extra crumbs.
  • Do not press the cake; otherwise, the cake will lose its fluffiness and become dense.
  • Make sure to refrigerate the pudding-cream mixture for at least an hour for all before assembling the cake for even layering.

Can I make this cake ahead?
Yes, of course, you can make this cake a day before the serving day. We highly recommend making this cake at least 12 hours before the serving time. Make sure to serve the cake before the mark of 18 hours; otherwise, it will start to become soggy. Honestly, you will not like the soggy cake in it.
