Gorgeous, elegant, & delicious cake for holidays or anytime!
Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake, cooked & cooled
- 6 large strawberries, diced
- 6 oz raspberries
- 4 oz blackberries
- 1/2 lemon, juice only
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Slice the angel food cake in half horizontally. Remove a tunnel from the bottom half, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom of the cake.
- Add the berries, lemon juice, sugar & vanilla extract to a saucepan. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until berries are macerated & sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat to cool.
- Drain the berries, reserving the liquid.
- Add the cooled berries to the tunnel in the bottom layer of the cake. Add the top of the cake back onto the bottom half.
- Return the berry liquid to a small saucepan. Dissolve cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of water; whisk it into the berry liquid. Simmer on low until bubbly & thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
- Pour the glaze onto the cake evenly so that it runs down the sides & looks pretty. Slice & devour!
