Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
20 strawberries, hulled
Four 3- to 4-inch-thick slices cut from a store-bought angel food cake
1 cup heavy whipping cream
8 ounces mascarpone
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons store-bought balsamic glaze
4 sprigs fresh mint
Directions
Special equipment:
4 metal or wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes if wooden- Heat a grill to medium-high heat or place a grill pan on the stove over medium-high heat. Generously grease the grill grates with the vegetable oil. Slide 5 strawberries on a skewer, pushing the skewer through the cores. Repeat this process to assemble 3 more skewers. Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning as needed, until dark grill marks are created, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove half the strawberries from the skewers to a large bowl and use a fork to mash them. Stir in the remaining strawberries and set aside.
- Grill the cake slices until they have grill marks, 30 to 45 seconds per side (do not let the cake slices cook for more than 1 minute or they will start to stick).
- Combine the whipping cream, mascarpone and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Plate the cakes individually and top each with some strawberries. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the berries. Dollop the whipped cream on top and garnish each plate with a sprig of fresh mint. Serve immediately.
