Best Grilled Angelfood Cake With Fresh Fruit Salsa Recipes

GRILLED ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat charcoal/gas grill or broiler and away from heat source lightly coat rack or broiler pan with a nonstick cooking spray. Adjust cooking rack at least 4 to 6 inches away from heat source.
• In a medium saucepan combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, water, vanilla, and cinnamon. Over medium heat cook mixture until just boiling, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Lay angel food cake toward edge of grill rack or broiler pan where there is less heat.
• Grill cake until each side is nicely browned, approximately 1 to 3 minutes.
• On individual serving plates, place angel food cake and top each piece with 1/4 cup of the strawberry-rhubarb sauce. Add 2 tablespoons of whipped topping and serve immediately.

GRILLED ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, toss strawberries with sugar. In another bowl, mix butter and vinegar; brush over cut sides of cake., On a greased rack, grill cake, uncovered, over medium heat until golden brown, 1-2 minutes on each side. Serve cake with strawberries and, if desired, ice cream and blueberry syrup.

GRILLED ANGELFOOD CAKE WITH FRESH FRUIT SALSA

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, mix fruits, sugar, lime juice, mint and cayenne (if you are adding heat). Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours before serving. You can also do this the night before and the flavors can blend completely!
• 2. Prepare and preheat grill. I did use some foil on my grill but spraying with cooking spray is okay as well.
• 3. Slice angelfood cake horizontally, place cut side down on grill.
• 4. Grill for about 30-60 seconds or until light golden brown. Carefully flip cake and grill for another 30-60 seconds until golden brown. DO NOT LEAVE CAKE UNATTENDED, IT WILL BURN FAST!!!
• 5. Cut cake into about 8 pieces, top with fruit salsa and a scoop of sherbet.

GRILLED ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH CITRUS COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
• For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
• For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
• Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.
