Instructions
For the salsa, place the berries, mint, ginger, jalapeno(s), lime juice, and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl but do not mix until ready to plate. The salsa can be prepared to this stage up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated. When ready to plate, taste for sweetness and mix.
For the whipped cream topping, beat the cream to soft peaks in a chilled bowl using an electric mixer, hand-held beater, or whisk. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar, tequila, and cinnamon and beat until firm. The tequila-whipped cream can be prepared up to 2 hours ahead and refrigerated, covered.
For the cake, set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium high.
When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Lightly brush the cake slices on both sides with the butter spread. Arrange the slices of cake on the grill at a diagonal to the bars of the grate and grill until lightly browned on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning with a spatula. Transfer the grilled cake slices to a platter or plates.
Mix Berry Salsa, sweeten to taste, and spoon over grilled cake slices. Top with cream, if using. Serve immediately.
Spa Index Kitchen Notes
We didn't feel the recipe needed the heavy cream, but if you desire it, try stirring in the small quantity of tequila and other topping ingredients into no sugar added or fat free whipped topping, in place of the heavy cream. This GREATLY reduces calorie counts!
