Now this is certainly a different way to serve up cake! Not only does the grilling give the angel food a nice taste, but the spiced up fruit salsa & the coolness of the lemon sherbet that I used maked for A VERY TASTY DESSERT! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Beverage Tag cooking game]
