Summertime Grilled Pound Cake and Berries
Delicious, sweet, and tart. A great treat to end the summer on a grill.
Ingredients
- 16 oz pound cake
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- canola oil for brushing
- 1 qt fresh strawberries stemmed and hulled
- 1/2 pt fresh blackberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cups whipped cream
Instructions
-
Clean the grill grates if necessary. Preheat the grill on high heat for 10 minutes.
-
Slice the pound cake into 7 1-inch slices. Lightly brush both sides of each slice with melted butter. Set aside.
-
Hold a paper towel between tongs and dip it in the canola oil. Carefully oil the grill grates.
-
Thread about 4 strawberries onto each bamboo skewer. Place the skewers on the oiled grates, cover, and grill for 2 minutes on each side without disturbing, until the strawberries have grill marks. Transfer the skewered strawberries to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
-
Reduce the grill to medium-high heat.
-
Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl with the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice and toss well. Let the berries macerate while you grill the pound cake.
-
Arrange the slices of cake on the grates, cover, and grill for 2 minutes, then flip and grill on the other side for 2 minutes more, until the cake is well toasted with grill marks.
-
Transfer the grilled cake to serving plates and top with a dollop of whipped cream and the macerated berries.
