Blueberry-Lemon Angel Food Cake Recipe
This easy Angel Food Cake recipe is refreshingly light and sweet, and so very simple (with just 5 ingredients)! It's impressive and fun to grill the cake in summer, but you can broil or toast it year-round, too.
• Ready in 30 Minutes or Less • Includes Make-Ahead Steps • Vegetarian •
Ingredients
- 4 (1 - 1 1/2 inch thick) slices of angel food cake (about 1/3 of a whole cake)
- 2/3 cup nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup blueberry jelly (preferably all-natural, fruit-sweetened such as Fiordifrutta)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (can substitute/add some strawberries and raspberries, if desired, for a red-white-and-blue "patriotic" dessert)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from about half a lemon)
Instructions
- Prepare and preheat grill. Grill angel food cake until lightly toasted and golden, about 2-5 minutes per side. Be careful not to grill the cake over a high flame – we recommend over a very low flame or on one side of the grill where the flame has been turned off.
- Meanwhile, stir together Greek yogurt and jelly.
- To serve, drizzle about a quarter of the sauce (about 3 1/2 tablespoons) over each slice of angel food cake, and top each slice with about 1/4 cup berries and 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest.
Notes
Make-ahead steps: The sauce can be made ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for a day or two. You can zest the lemon an hour or two ahead of time and store it in the fridge, tightly wrapped in a zipper bag to prevent it from drying out.
Yield: This recipe can easily be doubled, or tripled for a party. Since 4 servings (as the recipe is written) use about 1/3 of an entire angel food cake, you can double the recipe to 8 servings with about 2/3 of the cake, or even triple it to yield 12 servings and use up the entire cake. Scale quantities for sauce, berries, and zest accordingly.
