Strawberry & angel cake skewers with chocolate dipping sauce
Juicy strawberries and pretty cubes of pink and white angel cake threaded onto skewers and served with warm chocolate dipping sauce. You'll be everyone's best friend if you serve this at your next party - and especially at your next baby shower. This is a wonderful summery dessert, but, I'm sure, will be well received at any time of year!
Thread the half-strawberries and cake cubes onto the skewers alternately. Arrange on a plate.
To make the sauce, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals in a medium bowl in the microwave or over a simmering pan of water. Meanwhile, combine the butter, cream and sugar in a small pan and heat until well combined.
Pour the cream and butter mixture over the chocolate and whisk until smooth.
Drizzle a little of the chocolate sauce over the skewers (I used a disposable piping bag), then serve with the rest of the sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping.
Notes
Simple chocolate sauce recipe barely adapted from BBC Good Food.I used a cake called an ‘Angel Layer Cake’ which can be picked up at supermarkets here in the UK (I went to Tesco's!) If you aren’t in the UK, just use any kind of pre-made pink and white cake (angel cake or madeira cake, for example).It’s up to you how many skewers you make, of course, but the sauce is enough for roughly 5. Simply double or triple the ingredients for the chocolate sauce to make more.
