  • Slice cake in half horizontally and place, cut side down, on grill 6" from medium coals.

  1. I made this for Mother's Day this year. Everyone was skeptical when I told them the name of our dessert, but it got rave reviews from even the pickiest eater. The ingredients in the fresh fruit salsa blend into a scrumptious burst of favors, and grilling the angel cake warms it just enough to bring out the flavor.
     
  2. Great recipe, Toasting/grilling the cake makes it so much better. I have also cubed and toasted angel food cake in a low oven and that crisps it up like a crouton and then I layer it in a parfait glass with fruit, even yogurt or ice cream etc. Pretty dessert.
     
  3. very nice taste
     
  4. Now this is certainly a different way to serve up cake! Not only does the grilling give the angel food a nice taste, but the spiced up fruit salsa & the coolness of the lemon sherbet that I used maked for A VERY TASTY DESSERT! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag cooking game]
