Grilled Pound Cake with
Ice Cream and Cassis
Berry Sauce
Makes 8 servings
3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1/4 teaspoon pure almond or vanilla extract
1
Cassis Berry Sauce, ice cream, frozen yogurt or whipped cream
Crumble the brown sugar into a bowl so that there are no lumps. Add the softened butter and extract. Stir to blend.
Use a serrated knife to slice the frozen pound cake into 8 equal slices – it is important that the slices all be the same thickness. Spread both sides of each slice with the brown sugar butter. Place in refrigerator until ready to cook.
Ten minutes before serving, preheat the Cuisinart ® Griddler Express™ on low setting. When hot, arrange the slices of the butter/brown sugar coated pound cake on the bottom griddle plate. Close, apply light pressure to lid for 10 seconds, and cook for 3 to 4 min- utes. Remove from Griddler Express™ and arrange on dessert plates. For a special dessert,
top warm cake with a scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt, then chocolate sauce, Cassis Berry Sauce (recipe
follows) or Cassis Berry Sauce and softly whipped cream.
