Check out what I just made!
Ok, so this recipe is so easy, it's not really a recipe. It's also not really a menu for one, per se, unless you want it to be... Nevertheless, I thought you might like it. It's a perfect way to enjoy summertime fruits.
10 Minutes to Deliciousness in three easy parts:
Step 1: Buy angel food cake and cut in half horizontally, quickly making a two-layer cake.
Step 2: Slice Strawberries, or fruit of your choice (if you play your cards right, using raspberries or blueberries, for example, there's no slicing required, so skip Step 2 and advance to Step 3). You can also add chopped nuts, or crushed cookies, if you like.
Step 3: In cold, metal bowl (I put mine in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand), whip 1 pint of heavy whipping cream with a small splash of powdered sugar + flavor addition of your choice. I used almond extract this time. When my mom made this cake for my birthday last weekend, she added a dollop of mascarpone cheese (yum!) and a splash of kirsch (double yum!). When soft peaks form, frost the cake, and stick fruit to it all over.
TIME! Was that less than 10 minutes? Amazing! Sweet victory is yours! Enjoy!
