Time 1h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup granulated sugar
5 green cardamom pods
1 pound rhubarb (about 3 large or 6 small stalks), sliced 1/2 inch thick (about 4 cups)
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 cup cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 store-bought angel food cake

Steps:

Combine the granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water and the cardamom pods in a large skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, about 8 minutes. Add the rhubarb and cook, stirring, until just starting to break down, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a shallow dish and let sit until cooled, about 1 hour. Stir in the strawberries.
Beat the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and ground cardamom in a large bowl with a mixer until medium peaks form. Slice the angel food cake and top with the strawberry-rhubarb sauce and spiced whipped cream.
