@ciao_bella  That looks great. Thank you for the recipe.

DD isn't a fan of angel food cake, there is no reason I couldn't use pound cake or make a white cake and use that, is there?

I have got to make this soon.

@CrazyKittyLvr2  I see no reason why you couldn't switch out pound cake or even regular cake for this recipe.  The angel food cake makes it a bit lighter in texture, that's all.

If using a 'cake' I would definitely not assemble it until ready to serve, as the cake will get soggy.

Because of the 'airy' nature of angel food cake, it doesn't absorb liquids as quickly as cake does.

I like this strawberry cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  This is a former co-worker's recipe:

Filling:

8 cups strawberries, cut into 1" pieces

2/3 cup sugar

2 tbsp cornstarch

1 tsp lemon juice

Stir everything together in a bowl.  Spread in a greased 9x13" baking pan.

Biscuits:

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

10 tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces

3/4 cup buttermilk

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt in bowl.  Cut butter into flour mixture with pastry blender until butter is in pea-sized pieces.  Stir in buttermilk until batter is just a bit lumpy.

Scoop even spoonfuls of batter onto top of filling.  Sprinkle 2 tsp sugar over top of biscuit mixure.  Bake in 400 degree oven until biscuits are golden and cooked through, 20-25 minutes.  Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Not understanding your comment.  Do you mean if something other than angel food cake is used, you don't like it or you don't like it used with angel food cake?  

I can assure you, it's quite delicious using angel food cake!
