Grilled Pound Cake with Grilled (yes!) Strawberries
Confession: we watched Date Night (love Tina Fey) and then got sucked into YouTube for far too long, and now it’s closing in on 1am and I don’t have the gumption to upload pictures of our pizza.
But check this out: thickly sliced pound cake (which is more substantial than most cakes and able to withstand the heat of the grill) topped with saucy-sweet warm berries, grilled alongside in a foil packet. You can grill strawberries? Oh yes. There’s still time.
Of course sliced fresh strawberries straight-up would work just fine. But I discovered that if you pile berries onto a square of foil and sprinkle them with a bit of sugar, then fold up the sides and ends of the foil to seal them into a little packet (much like cooking en papillote, or the same way you might do potatoes in foil) and toss them on the hot grill for a few minutes, just until they release their juices. Carefully open the packet and pour out the warm berries and their juices over a piece of grilled pound cake, and top with a scoop of ice cream or blop of whipped cream.
Congratulations Anita, who has herself a new cast iron skillet! (I left it on the doorstep yesterday, between Winter’s and Chuck Hughes. Full tutorial to follow.)
Julie! Grilled pound cake? That sounds almost too good to be true. I would like to eat this for breakfast, please.
oh yum.:D i would eat this anytime!! it’s got all the food groups in it.so it must be good for me, right?
Ohhhh myyyy godddd that looks delicious! I would totally do it in the oven/broiler just because we haven’t cracked open the BBQ in years.
This looks amazing, I want me some! I’ve been hooked on honey flavoured greek yogurt for the past few weeks which I bet would make a great topping as well.
I’m gone to tell my little brother, that he should
