This recipe is called “Out of This World Dessert”, but at our house, it is called Joanne’s Cake, after our dear friend who shared the recipe with my daughter. You need to make this the day before you want to serve it. Think custard, whipped cream, angel food cake and hot caramel sauce. Is your mouth watering yet?
Ingredients:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 3 well beaten egg yolks
- 3 egg whites, beaten stiff
- 1 envelope Knox gelatin
- 1.5 cups whipping cream, divided
- 1 angel food cake (store bought, or home made), torn into small pieces
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
CUSTARD AND ASSEMBLY:
*Dissolve one envelope Knox gelatin in ½ cup cold water
For custard combine:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 3 well-beaten egg yolks
