You just want to get a char on the cake and fruit so it picks up a little grill flavour, not cook it through. I used a pound cake I had previously made and frozen and free stone peaches from the local farmers' market and served it with fresh whipped cream sweetened with cinnamon sugar. I'm sure nectarines or plums would be tasty too. It's also delicious served with Berry Sorbet.
Grilled Pound Cake with Ginger Rum Peaches
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 2 inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of cinnamon
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, quartered
- 4 slices pound cake, store bought or homemade
- whipped cream or ice cream (optional)
- candied ginger for garnish (optional)
Mix honey, rum, ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon together and pour over peaches. Allow to marinate in the fridge for several hours or overnite. Drain peaches reserving marinade. Strain marinade and set aside. Grill pound cake and peaches just till charred with grill marks turning once or twice. Drizzle reserved marinade over pound cake to moisten well. Serve topped with grilled peaches and fresh whipped cream or ice cream if desired.
4 servings
Cooks Note: With my gas grill on high, it took only a few seconds per side for the pound cake and 5 to 8 minutes total for the peaches.
