Ingredients
1 pint heavy whipped cream
1-2 T. real maple syrup
1 angel food cake, homemade or purchased
5 T. unsalted butter, melted
1 pint fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and cut into chunks or slices
In a large glass bowl, blend 1 pint of heavy
whipping cream with a hand or immersion blender until it doubles in size and
changes texture. Then, drizzle maple syrup into the bowl and continue blending
until the mixture is light and fluffy. Set aside.
Place your oven’s top rack on the highest
setting and turn the broiler on high.
Due to its round shape, angel food cake is
normally cut into a series of wedges. However, the pieces will not brown evenly
under the broiler if cut like this. Instead, carefully slice the angel food
cake with a sharp knife into equally thick sections by making a series of
parallel 2” wide cuts, starting on one side of the cake and working toward the
opposite side. Trim the pieces so they are all approximately the same size. The
result should be uniformly sized pieces that will brown evenly.
Place the angel food cake slices on a rimmed
baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and brush the top with melted butter.
Turn over each piece and repeat on the other side.
Place baking sheet under the broiler until a
golden-brown crust starts to form. (You may need to rotate the baking sheet to
get uniform results). Keep a close eye on the cake during this time because it
can burn very quickly. Once toasted, remove baking sheet from oven and turn
over each piece of angel food cake. Place back under the broiler and toast the
remaining side until golden brown.
To serve, arrange toasted slices on individual
serving plates and top with maple whipped cream and fresh berries.
Recipe Note
This recipe can be made with your favorite
homemade angel food cake recipe or with the store-bought variety. However, if
you buy a pre-made cake, look for one that is not packaged inside a disposable
baking pan. The exterior of cakes sold like this tend to be very sticky, which
makes them more difficult to slice. Look for one that is packaged with just
plastic wrap around it for protection, instead.
