Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) angel food cake mix
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups fat-free whipped topping

Invert onto a kitchen towel dusted with confectioners; sugar. Gently peel off waxed paper. Roll up cake in the towel jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Combine strawberries and sugar; set aside. To serve, drain strawberries. Unroll cake; spread with half of the topping. Cover with the berries. Roll up again. Place on a serving plate, seam side down. Spread with remaining topping. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
