Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). If using a stovetop grill pan, heat over medium heat.
Slice the angel food cake into 2-inch-thick slices, ensuring each slice is sturdy enough to hold its shape while grilling.
Brush both sides of each cake slice with melted butter. Sprinkle a small amount of granulated sugar over the buttered sides to promote caramelization.
Place the cake slices on the preheated grill. Grill for 1-2 minutes on each side or until grill marks develop and the edges are lightly caramelized. Use tongs to flip carefully.
While the cake is grilling, prepare the berry topping by mixing the sliced strawberries and blueberries in a medium bowl. If desired, drizzle with honey for added sweetness and toss gently.
Remove the grilled cake slices from the grill and place them on serving plates.
Top each slice with a generous spoonful of the mixed berry topping. Add a dollop of whipped cream to each plate for a creamy finish.
Serve immediately while the cake is warm and enjoy the contrast of smoky cake, fresh berries, and cool cream.
