The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

This recipe just screams summertime! One note, make sure your grill is very clean otherwise you'll get grease on the cake! The angel food grills quickly so be sure to watch it. Love this recipe!

If you're looking for a simple but impressive recipe - this is it. Never has a recipe received such high marks from all reviewers testing it! We did make a couple of small changes to the version we tested. First, we used pound cake instead of angel food cake. We felt that the denser cake would hold up on the grill better. Then, instead of vanilla ice cream, we served it with a small scoop each of coconut sorbet and raspberry sorbet. The grilling made the firm peaches soft and sweet with a light buttery flavor. The sorbet not only added a splash of color, but paired very nicely with the peaches. The whole recipe took about 15 minutes to make and was extremely easy. Absolutely fabulous. Be sure to make some extra because someone will definitely want seconds!
