Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 (1 - 1 1/2 inch thick) slices of angel food cake (about 1/3 of a whole cake)
2/3 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
1/4 cup blueberry jelly (preferably all-natural, fruit-sweetened such as Fiordifrutta)
1 cup fresh blueberries (can substitute/add some strawberries and raspberries, if desired, for a red-white-and-blue "patriotic" dessert)
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from about half a lemon)

Steps:

  • Prepare and preheat grill. Grill angel food cake until lightly toasted and golden, about 2-5 minutes per side. Be careful not to grill the cake over a high flame - we recommend over a very low flame or on one side of the grill where the flame has been turned off.
  • Meanwhile, stir together Greek yogurt and jelly.
  • To serve, drizzle about a quarter of the sauce (about 3 1/2 tablespoons) over each slice of angel food cake, and top each slice with about 1/4 cup berries and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest.

BLUEBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH CITRUS GLAZE



Blueberry Angel Food Cake With Citrus Glaze image

I have always loved Angel Food cake and Blueberries. So I thought I'd combine the two. You don't have to decorate the cake with blueberries but I thought it looked pretty :) Also note, I found the bottom of the cake stuck, so it might be advisable to cut a round of parchment and put it on the bottom to ensure the cake comes out smoothly.

BLUEBERRY ANGEL FOOD CAKE



Blueberry Angel Food Cake image

Inspired by Recipe#3794. I found that the blueberries and juice get more evenly distributed than peaches do, for more fruit flavor in every bite! Note: This works best if you have the "1-packet" type of angel food cake mix. If you have the "2-packet" kind, you can empty both packets into the bowl together, but you may end up with a slightly denser cake. Feel free to try this with other kinds of fruit in juice. I'd like to know how it turns out! I've already made it with pineapple, peaches, and blueberries. I might try strawberries next....

Number Of Ingredients 12

ANGEL FOOD CAKE
9 large egg whites (keep yolks for another recipe)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided (1/2 cup + 1 cup)
1 cup cake flour (tip: if you don't have cake flour, measure 1 cup all-purpose flour, remove 2 tbsp flour and replace it with 2 tbsp cornstarch, and sift the flour and cornstarch together)
1 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp salt
LEMON GLAZE (OPTIONAL)
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp lemon zest

Steps:

  • 1. Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl, and let stand 30 minutes to reach room temperature.
  • 2. Sift 1/2 cup sugar with the 1 cup flour twice; set aside.
  • 3. Place oven rack in lowest position. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 4. Add cream of tartar, both extracts and salt to egg whites. Beat on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Gradually add remaining sugar, about 2 tablespoons at a time, beating on High speed, until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 6 more minutes. Fold in the sugar-flour mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time.
  • 5. Carefully spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan. Use a butter knife and slice through the batter in several spots, to remove air pockets.
  • 6. Bake on lower rack for 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is lightly browned and the entire top appears dry. Remove pan from oven, immediately invert to retain volume and to keep cake from sinking into itself. Allow cake to cool in pan for about 1 hour.

  • 8. LEMON GLAZE: Stir together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze in a random pattern over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
