Tips for Making Grilled Pound Cake
So even though this recipe is extremely straightforward, I’ve compiled a few tips to help you make sure this meal comes out looking and tasting like perfection. Check them out below:
- Stay close! Stay right by the grill while cooking the pound cake and peaches. They both cook super fast, and you don’t want the cake to burn or the peaches to turn to mush. Remove both promptly when they are done.
- Refrigerate the cream. Whip the cream just before grilling and store in the fridge to keep it fluffy while you grill your pound cake and peaches.
- Try a different fruit. If you don’t like grilled peaches, you can slice and serve them fresh on top of the grilled pound cake. This recipe is also delicious with a variety of berries. Go ahead and pick your favorite and let those creative juices run free!
