Instructions
Remove stems from strawberries and slice into small pieces.
Place in a large mixing bowl, add sugar. Stir and let sit for 15 minutes.
Slice cake and cut into small bite-sized pieces, set aside.
Put a dollop of whipped topping in the bottom of each mason jar.
Add a few cake pieces to each mason jar.
Top with a spoonful or two of strawberry topping.
Repeat with another layer of whipped topping, more cake and top again with strawberry topping.
Finally, top off each jar with more whipped topping and additional strawberries, if desired.
Notes
I used 8 ounce mason jars. They are the perfect size for serving.
You can use angel food cake or pound cake.
Make your own homemade whipped cream or angel food cake if you like.
These can be made ahead, see my tips above.
