Angel Berry Tunnel Cake

This cake begins as a regular angel food cake but then you slice the top of the cake off and make a tunnel in the centre. You then combine whipped cream and strawberries and place this mixture inside the tunnel, Place the top of the cake back on and frost with whipping cream.  This is a family favourite in our house and I hope it becomes yours too!
