Snacks, such as Twinkies, make a delightful cake dessert when topped with fruit compote. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1-1/2 cups cranberry juice |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
2 medium navel oranges, peeled and chopped |
1/3 cup dried cranberries |
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches) |
6 individual cream-filled sponge cakes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes |
whipped cream, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine cornstarch and cranberry juice until smooth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in corn syrup until blended. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
2. Stir in the oranges, cranberries and cinnamon stick; simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the berries pop. Discard cinnamon stick.
3. Divide cake cubes among four dessert dishes; top each with 1/2 cup fruit sauce. Garnish with whipped cream if desired. Serve warm. Yield: 4 servings.
