RASPBERRY-BLUEBERRY SNOW CONES

Steps:

• Coarsely mash 1 1/2 cups raspberries and 2 cups blueberries with sugar and water in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan using a potato masher. Bring to a boil, stirring, then boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée until almost smooth, about 1 minute (use caution when blending hot liquids). Pour berry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing lightly on and then discarding solids.

Editor's Extra: I used a small angel food cake, but works with any size. Fun Fact: No egg yolks and no shortening make angel food cakes a fabulous no-fat sweet. Angel food cake, and its chiffon and sponge cake cousins, depend mostly on beaten egg whites for lightness. Angel food cakes have no added leavening (such as baking powder), shortening, or egg yolks, and have a high proportion of beaten egg whites to flour. Chiffon cakes are a cross between an angel food cake and a butter cake. They're made with leavening, vegetable oil, and egg yolks, as well as beaten whites. Sponge cakes use both egg whites and yolks and sometimes a little leavening, but like angel food cakes, they don't contain shortening.
