Ingredients

Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

1 (9 inch) angel food cake
2 (3 ounce) packages raspberry-flavored gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®)
1 ¼ cups boiling water
1 (15 ounce) package frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed and undrained
1 pint heavy whipping cream

Directions

Butter a 9-inch tube pan. Break angel food cake into chunks; set aside.
Stir raspberry gelatin and boiling water together in a bowl until gelatin is dissolved; place gelatin in the refrigerator to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Stir raspberries with syrup into gelatin.
Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form; fold whipped cream into raspberry mixture.
Pour about 1/4 cup of raspberry mixture into prepared pan. Place 1/3 of cake chunks into pan; pour 1/3 of remaining raspberry mixture over cake. Repeat layering with remaining ingredients, ending with the raspberry mixture. Chill in refrigerator until firm, about 2 hours.
To remove from pan, center a serving plate over tube pan; invert.

Cook's Note:

Whipped cream can be sweetened to taste with sugar if desired.

It looks fabulous on a decorative plate and garnished with fresh lavender flowers placed around the outside.

If necessary, use a tea towel dampened with warm water to help the cake slip out of the pan.

Croque Madame

A classic croque madame makes the perfect French-inspired brunch or lunch dish. Once you try this, it will be hard to have "just" a ham and cheese sandwich again. Don't cheat and use Swiss cheese, this deserves the real thing! Using Gruyère cheese will make all the difference.

Baked Sweet And Sour Chicken

This baked sweet and sour chicken is savory sweet and the chicken gets wonderfully crispy. Serve over rice just like in your favorite Chinese restaurant.

Grilled Leg of Lamb Steaks

My mother shared this recipe for leg of lamb steaks. The first time I tried leg steaks, I found them to be a delicious and very tender cut of lamb.

Chef John's Turkey Manicotti

When you're looking for something completely different to use up those turkey leftovers, this could be it! A tender, eggy pasta-like crepe enfolds the cheesy, amazing filling. You can make the crepes and filling ahead of time.

Sri Lankan Chicken Curry

Based on a traditional Sri Lankan family recipe, this chicken curry is spicy and full of flavor. Try this recipe and you will love it! Serve with basmati or jasmine rice and any other curried dish.
