Grilled Angel Food with Fruit Salsa

By Linda Larsen, About.com

Be sure to watch the angel food cake very carefully when grilling. Don't leave the grill for even a second, because it will brown very quickly! Use your favorite combination of fresh fruits for the salsa.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 1 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 14 oz. prepared angel food cake
  • 1 cup chopped cantaloupe or honeydew melon
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1/2 cup blackberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh mint
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, if desired
  • 4 cups any flavor sherbet or sorbet

Preparation:

In a medium bowl, combine fruit, sugar, lime juice, mint, and cayenne pepper and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

When ready to serve, prepare and preheat grill. Slice cake in half horizontally and place, cut side down, on grill 6" from medium coals. Grill for 30-60 seconds or until light golden brown. Carefully turn cake and grill on second side for 30-60 seconds until light golden brown. Cut cake into 8 pieces and serve with the salsa and the sherbet. Serves 8
