How to Make Grilled Angel Food Cake

  1. Preheat your charcoal or gas grill to medium-low heat (approximately 300°F). Lightly coat the grill rack with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Adjust the grill rack to at least 4-6 inches above the heat source.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1 cup chopped rhubarb, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. Over medium heat, bring the strawberry-rhubarb mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside to cool.
  6. Carefully place the angel food cake (one 10-inch cake) on the cooler edge of the preheated grill rack. This ensures even cooking and prevents burning.
  7. Grill the cake for 1-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and grill marks appear. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  8. Remove the cake from the grill and let it cool slightly.
  9. Cut the angel food cake into slices. Place each slice on a serving plate.
  10. Top each serving with 1/4 cup of the cooled strawberry-rhubarb sauce.
  11. Add 2 tablespoons of whipped topping (optional) and serve immediately.
