Notes

Allow the angel food cake to cool completely before cutting for easier handling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The cake can be frozen, but it is best enjoyed fresh. Consider omitting the Cool Whip and cherry topping until serving for freezing.
