This is quick easy and fresh tasting. Fruits in season, a spicy grilled pound cake makes for instant easy desert. Now I love to bake my sour cream pound cake, but lets face it. Last minute dinner for friends and that just doesn't work. A good store bought cake will work just fine. Also fresh fruit is the best. However, sometimes your store may not have a good selection. Frozen will work too. My favorite is mango which requires less sugar, but raspberries and blueberries will need a little more sugar. Again add it to your taste. Peaches and raspberries are great, peaches and blueberries, strawberries and blueberries, etc. Mango, pineapple are also very good. You can be as creative as you want. Ingredients:
4 slices lb cake (1 1/2-inch thick) |
1 cup spiced rum |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 cups fruit (or 1 -10-12 oz bag of frozen) |
1 tablespoon water |
1 teaspoon cornstarch |
Directions:
1. Rum liquid - In a pie plate, or small flat bowl, mix the rum, ginger, and brown sugar. Brush on or lightly dip the pound cake into the rum marinade.
2. Fruit sauce - In a medium bowl, add 1 10 oz bag of frozen berries or any of your favorite fruits, cut up (2 cups). Add 1/4-1/2 cup sugar depending on how sweet you like the sauce, corn starch, water and cover with saran wrap. Cook in the microwave on medium high until until the berries or fruit is soft and begins to break down. Depending on your microwave, it will take about 5 minutes on high.
3. Pound cake - Grill the pound cake, outside grill or inside grill pan and then top with the fruit sauce.
4. Garnishes - could be mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, chopped nuts.
