Angelfood Cake with Chocolate Cream

Description

The following is an excerpt from The Book Grill! by Pippa Cuthbert and Lindsay Cameron Wilson. Decadent! I'll never forget the day I first tasted grilled angel food cake with a dollop of chocolate cream. Nothing has really been the same since. Of course you can make your own cake if you prefer, but store-bought is the simple and guaranteed-to-be fluffy option.
