A quick and easy grilled pound cake dessert topped with fresh berries and whipped cream, perfect for casual gatherings and summer cookouts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf pound cake (about 12 ounces / 340 grams), dense and buttery
  • 2 cups fresh berries (300 grams) – mix of strawberries (sliced), blueberries, and raspberries
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml) for whipping
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (25 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 grams), melted
  • Optional garnishes: fresh mint leaves, sprinkle of cinnamon, drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-205°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice the pound cake into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick slices.
  3. Lightly brush both sides of each slice with melted unsalted butter.
  4. Place the slices directly on the grill grates and grill for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks appear and edges turn golden brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  5. While the cake is grilling, pour the heavy cream into a chilled mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk by hand for 3-5 minutes or use an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  6. Rinse and gently pat dry the berries. Slice strawberries and leave smaller berries whole.
  7. Place grilled pound cake slices on serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of whipped cream over each slice, then scatter fresh berries on top.
  8. Add optional garnishes like mint leaves or a drizzle of honey.
  9. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Watch the cake closely while grilling as the sugar caramelizes quickly and can burn. Use a two-zone grilling setup if possible to sear and then warm through without burning. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Optional: add lemon zest or a splash of liqueur to whipped cream for extra flavor. If no grill is available, use a grill pan or cast iron skillet on stovetop.
