Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Marinate the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to marinate for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the strawberries can release their juices and absorb the balsamic essence. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Grill the Angel Food Cake: Place the angel food cake slices on the preheated grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are lightly toasted and have attractive grill marks. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Assemble and Serve: Transfer the grilled angel food cake slices to individual dessert plates. Spoon the marinated strawberries generously over each slice, ensuring you include some of the flavorful balsamic syrup. Top with a dollop of freshly whipped cream and serve immediately. Enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a few fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced, to the strawberry marinade.
If you don't have a grill, you can toast the angel food cake slices in a toaster or under the broiler.
A splash of orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier) in the strawberry marinade adds a sophisticated touch.
For a dairy-free option, use coconut whipped cream or a plant-based alternative.
