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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F). If using a stovetop grill pan, heat over medium heat.
Step 2
Slice the angel food cake into 2-inch-thick slices, ensuring each slice is sturdy enough to hold its shape while grilling.
Step 3
Brush both sides of each cake slice with melted butter. Sprinkle a small amount of granulated sugar over the buttered sides to promote caramelization.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Remove the grilled cake slices from the grill and place them on serving plates.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve immediately while the cake is warm and enjoy the contrast of smoky cake, fresh berries, and cool cream.
