Cakespy: Grilled Pound Cake

Friends -
I am in no way a cook or chef or baker or food-maker-friend.  I am none of those things.  But, I know some of you are.  And some of you can't eat gluten - so sorry about this post.  This just looked too good and easy to just keep to myself.

Riddle me this: why should burgers and hot dogs have all the fun on your grill this summer?

They shouldn't, and here's the dessert to prove it: Grilled Pound Cake.

Simply butter slices of pound cake before putting them on either an outdoor or indoor stovetop grill, and let them get a little char. The nice part about this dessert is that it uses already-baked pound cake, so you can't under-bake it. The grilled toastiness of the cake makes it the perfect canvas for any number of toppings: I really enjoy ice cream and a seasonal fruit compote. Just be sure to prepare this before grilling meats, because you don't want to impart a burger flavor to your dessert!
