Grilled Cake and Fruit

(Courtesy of Taste of Home)

Ingredients:
4 slices angel food cake (1 inch thick)
1 oz. bittersweet chocolate
1 medium firm banana, cut into fourths
8 pineapple chunks
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 medium kiwifruit, peeled and diced
8 fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions:
Cut a pocket in each slice of cake by cutting from one long side to within 1/2 inch of the opposite side.  Insert a chocolate piece into each opening; set aside.

In a small bowl, toss the banana, pineapple and lemon juice; drain.  In a large resealable plastic bag, combine sugar and cinnamon.  Add banana and pineapple; toss to coat.  Thread onto 4 inch metal or soaked wooden skewers.

Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.  Prepare grill for indirect heat using a drip pan.  Place fruit over drip pan and grill over indirect medium heat for 4-6 minutes or until heated through, turning frequently.

Grill cake for 30-60 seconds on each side or until chocolate is melted.  Remove fruit from skewers.  Combine the kili, strawberries and grilled fruit; serve with cake slices.
