(Thanks to a call from a Party Line Listener)
1 Angel Food Cake, (10″), baked and cooled Or a Store bought Angel Food Cake Filling:
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream 3 Tbs. Sugar 1/4 tsp Vanilla
1/4 Cup Maraschino Cherries, quartered 1/4 Cup Crushed Pineapple, drained
1/2 Cup Chopped Walnuts 4 oz Large Marshmallows cut into eighths (or equiv. weight in small marshmallows)
Maraschino Cherry Juice for color (optional, but strongly recommended for color contrast)
Whip the cream with sugar and vanilla. Fold in other ingredients. Add small amounts of maraschino cherry juice until the desired level of pinkness is achieved (but don’t let the filling get “watery”). Chill.
Cut the top off the angel food cake, about one inch down. Cut out a ring about 2 inches wide and 2 inches deep. Do this by cutting the outer and inner circles of the ring, and then carefully pull out the angel food cake to make the trough. Do not immediately eat the bits. Save the bits in case you need them for structural repairs, then eat the excess. Spoon in chilled filling. Use reserved bits of angel food cake to repair the cake or build up the center ring as needed. Replace the top and frost with whipped cream (next step).
Frosting
3 Cups Heavy Whipping Cream 3 Tbs. Sugar Pineapple Chunks Maraschino Cherries, halved
Whip cream with sugar. Cover cake in whipped cream. Chill. Before serving, decorate with pineapple and cherries.
