I am always on the lookout for a dessert that is as pretty as it is easy. I mean, who doesn’t love a sweet treat that makes your heart go pitter-patter? Today I am sharing my latest obsession…Wine Soaked Berries. HELLO GORGEOUS! And I mean, while we’re at it, let’s also make an irresistible Angel Food Cake to give those berries a place to rest. It would be wrong not to! I used a gorgeous bottle of Riesling, that I feel pairs amazingly well with summer berries. It’s slightly sweet, but crisp too. It’s such a simple idea really…choose a few pints of your favorite berries, add a few pinches of sugar and then let them swim around in a pool of Barefoot Riesling! You’ll want to let them soak for a few hours to really incorporate the flavors. Meanwhile, get to baking your Angel Food Cake. Now, in all honesty the berries are the perfect summer dessert if you ask me, but topping them on a light and soft Angel Food cake is just a stunning presentation. My Grandma’s trick when you bake an Angel Food Cake is to grab a tall glass bottle and place the pan upside down on the bottle to cool. This keeps the cake from collapsing. Turns out my empty bottle of Riesling worked perfectly! Strain the berries from the wine and top your cake! I may have added a little whipped cream too. It just felt right. It’s almost too pretty to eat! *This post is sponsored by Barefoot Wine. As always all opinions are 100% my own.
