Ingredients
- angel food sheet cake
- 1 c blueberry jam
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream
- 2 pints raspberry sorbet
- 1 pint peach sorbet
- CAKE INGREDIENTS:
- * Vegetable oil cooking spray, for sheet and parchment
- * 12 large egg whites, room temperature
- * 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- * 1 1/4 cups superfine sugar
- * 1 cup all-purpose flour
- * Salt
Directions
-
Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with plastic wrap. Place half the baked angel food cake in bottom of dish. Spread jam over top. Spread ice cream over jam. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
-
Spread raspberry sorbet over ice cream layer. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours. Spread peach sorbet over raspberry layer; top with remaining angel food cake. Wrap in plastic wrap; freeze overnight.
-
Remove plastic from top of cake, and turn out cake onto a cutting board; unwrap, and trim edges. Slice cake, and serve immediately.
-
CAKE DIRECTIONS: (could probably use an angel food cake mix and bake in sheet pan)
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray, and line with parchment. Coat parchment with spray.
-
Whisk whites and cream of tartar with a mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Slowly add 3/4 cup sugar, and whisk until thick and glossy, about 3 minutes.
-
Sift remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the flour, and a pinch of salt over egg-white mixture, and fold gently until just combined, being careful not to deflate whites. Spread batter evenly onto prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and set, about 20 minutes.
-
Let cool completely in sheet on a wire rack. (Cake should pull away from sides easily.) Slide cake out from sheet, right side up; cut in half crosswise to form two 8 1/2-by-13-inch pieces. Carefully remove parchment from cake.
