Steps:
- For the Citrus Compote: Zest 1 grapefruit and set aside for the Grapefruit Whipped Cream. Cut off the top and bottom of an orange and place it on the counter flat side down. Cut the outer peel and pith off. Cut into chunks, removing as much pith as possible. Repeat with the remaining citrus fruits (including the zested grapefruit). Add the citrus chunks to a medium saucepot with 1/2 cup of water, the sugar and a handful of mint. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook, occasionally stir gently making sure not to break up the fruit too much, until slightly syrupy and the sugar is dissolved, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, discard the mint and reserve, it will thicken slightly as it cools.
- For the Grapefruit Whipped Cream: Add the cream and zest to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment or a bowl with a hand mixer and whip on medium-high speed until peaks are medium-stiff. Refrigerate.
- For the Angel Food Cake: Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Slice the angel food cake in half along the equator. Place each half on the grill and toast on both sides until grill marks appear, about 2 minutes per side.
- Place the bottom of the grilled angel food cake on a platter and spoon about half of the whipped cream over top. Use a slotted spoon to spoon some of the citrus compote over the whipped cream (don't use too much syrup or the whipped cream will be too runny). Place the top half of the cake on top (like a whipped cream sandwich). Spoon the other half of the whipped cream over top and spoon more of the citrus compote on. Garnish with mint leaves. Slice and serve like a layer cake.

- 1. In a bowl, mix fruits, sugar, lime juice, mint and cayenne (if you are adding heat). Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours before serving. You can also do this the night before and the flavors can blend completely!
- 2. Prepare and preheat grill. I did use some foil on my grill but spraying with cooking spray is okay as well.
- 3. Slice angelfood cake horizontally, place cut side down on grill.
- 4. Grill for about 30-60 seconds or until light golden brown. Carefully flip cake and grill for another 30-60 seconds until golden brown. DO NOT LEAVE CAKE UNATTENDED, IT WILL BURN FAST!!!
- 5. Cut cake into about 8 pieces, top with fruit salsa and a scoop of sherbet.

Tips:
- For the best results, use a high-quality angel food cake. A homemade cake will give you the best flavor and texture, but you can also use a store-bought cake if you're short on time.
- Be careful not to overcook the cake. It should be cooked through, but it should still be moist and fluffy. Overcooked cake will be dry and tough.
- Let the cake cool completely before grilling it. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
- Use a grill that is preheated to medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice char on the outside of the cake without overcooking the inside.
- Grill the cake for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is heated through and has grill marks.
- Serve the cake immediately with your favorite toppings. Fresh fruit salsa, whipped cream, or ice cream are all great options.
Conclusion:
Grilled angel food cake with fresh fruit salsa is a delicious and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover cake, and it's also a fun and unique way to serve fruit. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
