Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 lemon pound cake
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Preparation Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
Garnish and Serving Ingredients:
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Marinate the raspberries by combining them with honey and lemon zest in a small bowl, allowing the flavors to infuse while preparing the cake.
- Heat the grill to medium temperature, ensuring an even cooking surface for the pound cake.
- Generously coat both sides of each pound cake slice with melted butter to enhance grilling and prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the buttered cake slices on the grill, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden grill marks develop and the cake becomes warm and slightly crisp.
- Transfer the grilled cake slices to individual serving plates, creating an appealing presentation.
- Spoon the macerated raspberries generously over each grilled pound cake slice, distributing the honey-infused fruit evenly.
- Elevate the dessert by adding a luxurious touch of whipped cream or a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
- Optionally, garnish with delicate fresh mint leaves to provide a refreshing visual and aromatic accent to the dessert.
Notes
- Elevate the pound cake’s texture by choosing a dense, sturdy store-bought or homemade version that can withstand grilling without falling apart.
- Use clarified butter or high-heat oil for grilling to prevent burning and achieve perfect golden-brown grill marks.
- Try alternative fruits like grilled peaches or macerated strawberries for seasonal variations and unique flavor profiles.
- For gluten-free options, select a gluten-free pound cake or substitute with almond flour-based cake to maintain the recipe’s delicate structure.
