A quick and easy dessert featuring grilled pound cake with a crispy caramelized crust, topped with sweet macerated strawberries and lightly whipped cream. Perfect for summer and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 loaf pound cake (about 12 ounces / 340 grams), store-bought or homemade
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (about 300 grams), hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml), whipped lightly
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Macerate the strawberries: In a mixing bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to coat all the berries. Set aside at room temperature for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Prepare the cream: Pour heavy cream and vanilla extract into a chilled bowl. Whip with an electric mixer or whisk until soft peaks form.
  3. Slice the pound cake into 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick slices.
  4. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C).
  5. Brush each slice of pound cake with melted butter on both sides.
  6. Grill the pound cake slices for 2-3 minutes per side until grill marks form and edges crisp up.
  7. Transfer grilled pound cake slices to plates. Spoon macerated strawberries and syrup over each slice. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
  8. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

If strawberries are extra juicy, drain some syrup to prevent sogginess but keep it for drizzling. Macerate strawberries 15-20 minutes for best texture. Use a dense, buttery pound cake for grilling. Butter the cake before grilling for crispness. If no grill is available, broil the cake slices in the oven for 1-2 minutes per side.
