1 lg Angel food cake
1 lg Dozen marshmallows; cut up
1 1/2 Dozen red cherries; cut up
1/2 Dozen whole almond macaroons
1 tb Unflavored gelatin
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Cold water
1/4 c Boiling water
Bourbon
2 c Whipped cream
Dissolve gelatin in cold water. Add boiling water & cool. Season with
bourbon. Add sugar & set aside. Tear off some of inside of cake & put a
little of it in the bottom of cake. Combine marshmallows, cherries,
macaroons & whipped cream. Add to gelatin mixture & refrigerate until it
begins to thicken. Fill cake with this mixture & refrigerate. Ice with
whipped cream before serving. (This sounds like a lot of trouble, but make
a day ahead. Very good & a pretty dessert to serve from table or buffet
style. An angel food cake mix makes a large & pretty cake. At Christmas
time use red or green cherries.)
