I know when I have an unexpected guest the first question that comes to my mind is, what am I going to feed them? Whatever it is, it better be quick and delicious.
I’m very rarely ever one to purchase a store bought cake from the store. My exception is angel food cake. Why? Because it’s dry and if I make it at home it’s still going to be dry. Plus I don’t have to go out and buy a pan that only makes one type of dessert, that’s boring. Although, if I made it at home it may just be a day fresher. I didn’t used to like angel food cake in the slightest because the texture was just that, dry and spongy. It reminded me of cotton swabs. Somewhere along the way I realized a good angel food cake just needs a good amount of moisture and fats added to the top and then it’s fantastic. So, with this recipe I made it to have a generous amount of the Nutella drizzle (so you can continue to spoon more over your cake as your eating it) and a fair mound of Mascarpone Cream to dollop over the top. Again, to me a good Angel food cake is in the toppings and lots of them. I guess low fat just isn’t my thing. Wish it could be, but it just can’t =). The vibrant topping for this cake will quickly remind you of chocolate covered strawberries and strawberries with cream. How could it not be good, right? I hope you enjoy this simple, yet elegant dessert as much as I do! Simplicity at it’s finest. Enjoy!
