Roasted Pineapple Shortcakes with Cinnamon Whipped Cream





Total Time
25 mins

This simple dessert cooks in the oven, but you could make it on the grill—cook the pineapple until grill marks appear and lightly toast the angel food cake. Whichever way you go with this dessert, the cinnamon whipped cream is delicious, and a scoop of ice cream wouldn’t be a bad idea either.

Preheat oven to 400°. On a rimmed baking sheet, turn pineapple in butter and brown sugar until coated. Spread in a single layer. Roast, turning as needed, until fruit has softened and is starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Put cake on another baking sheet and toast in oven until warm, about 5 minutes.
