For the Angel Food Cake:
¾ cup granulated sugar 
¼ teaspoon salt 
1½ cups egg whites (approximately 12 eggs) 
1 teaspoon cream of tartar 
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract 
For the Strawberries:
1 pound strawberries, chopped (plus more for garnish)
1 tablespoon sugar
For the Whipped Cream:
1 pint cold heavy whipping cream 
¼ cup sugar
For Assembly:
10 4 oz jars or glasses 
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Angel Food Cake 
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Sift together the cake flour and salt in a bowl and set aside.
In a stand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
Once frothy, add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to high. Beat until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the sugar (1 tablespoon at a time), mixing every 30 seconds until all sugar is incorporated. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the flour mixture into the beaten egg whites until just combined.
Fold in the vanilla extract.
Spoon the batter into a non-greased 12-cup bundt pan and bake for 1 hour.
Cool for about 5 minutes, then invert the pan onto a cooling rack and allow the cake to cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries
Dice the strawberries and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
Step 3: Make the Whipped Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the cold heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup sugar.
Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Step 4: Assemble the Shortcakes
Dice the cooled angel food cake into 1-inch cubes.
In each jar, add a spoonful of strawberries at the bottom, followed by a few cubes of angel food cake, and a spoonful of whipped cream.
Repeat the layers until the jars are full, finishing with whipped cream on top.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with additional chopped strawberries on top of each jar.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy!
