1 small store-bought Angel Food cake, sliced into 1/2' slices
juice of 3 lemons
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff peaks form
a few drops yellow food coloring, optional
thinly sliced almonds, optional
shredded coconut, optional


1. Combine the fresh lemon juice, sugar, and sweetened condensed milk.

2. Fold the lemon mixture into the whipped cream and mix until smooth. If desired, you may add a few drops of food coloring to this mixture to make more yellow.

3. Place half of the cake slices into a 9x13" pan and spread half of the whipped cream mixture on top of the cake. Top with the remaining cake slices, then the remaining whipped cream.

4. If desired, you may top the dessert with shredded coconut and/or sliced almonds. Chill several hours to soften the cake before serving.
