Categories     dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup cake flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely grated, plus more for sprinkling
12 large egg whites, at room temperature
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons butter, melted, for grilling
2 cups mixed fresh berries, for serving
1 cup whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, espresso powder, salt and 3/4 cup sugar into a large bowl. Whisk in the chocolate and set aside.
  • Add the egg whites and cream of tartar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip the whites on medium-high speed until foamy, about 30 seconds. Slowly pour in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and whip on high speed until the whites are glossy and can hold a stiff peak. Add the vanilla and beat to combine. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  • Gradually add the flour mixture, gently folding it into the egg white mixture, until fully combined. Spoon the batter into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan and bake until the cake springs back when pressed with a finger, 30 to 35 minutes. Do not open the oven during this time. Let cool, inverted, for 1 hour before removing the cake from the pan.
  • To grill the cake: Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Slice the cake and brush both sides of each slice lightly with the butter. Grill the cake slices until the surface becomes lightly caramelized and grill marked, about 1 minute per side. Serve with the berries, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of grated chocolate.

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 ruby red grapefruits
2 navel oranges
2 blood oranges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
A handful of fresh mint, plus some leaves for garnish
1 cup cold heavy cream
Zest of 1 ruby red grapefruit
One 7-to-8-inch store bought angel food cake

Steps:

  • For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
  • For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
  • For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.
