Grilled Angel Food Cake with Mixed Berries

This recipe is too easy to even be called a recipe.  However, I have served this three times in the past few weeks and each time the reviews are great.  I know many grill pound cake but I prefer to grill angel food cake.  It is this easy, you simply grill slices of angel food cake on both sides until golden brown (like a marshmallow).  Remove from the heat, top with berries and whipped cream.  I like to drizzle the berries with a good balsamic vinegar and fresh ground pepper – that might sound strange but try it – it is delicious.   Then top with a dollop of whipped cream.  Be prepared for the accolades – a simply elegant dessert.
