Grilling out during the long summer months is a big part of the warm weather fun for me and my family. I love to entertain out on the patio with freshly picked corn on the cob and healthy grilled chicken breasts. But what to serve for dessert? I recently stumbled upon this great sounding grill-able cake recipe from Mayo Clinic and can’t wait to try it out!
Happy grilling!
Serves 6.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
3/4 cup chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons water
1 3/4 teaspoons vanilla
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1 prepared angel food cake, cut into 6 pieces
3/4 cup reduced-fat whipped topping
Instructions:
1. Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
2. To make the sauce, in a saucepan, combine the strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, water, vanilla and cinnamon. Cook on medium heat until the mixture just starts to boil, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside.
3. Place the angel food cake toward the edge of the grill rack where there is less heat or on the broiler pan. Grill or broil until each side turns brown, about 1 to 3 minutes.
4. Place the angel food cake on individual serving plates. Top each piece with 1/4 cup of the strawberry-rhubarb sauce and 2 tablespoons of the whipped topping. Serve immediately.
