Print Recipe

A quick and easy dessert featuring grilled pound cake with caramelized edges topped with sweet, tangy balsamic strawberries. Perfect for summer gatherings and casual treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought or homemade pound cake loaf, sliced about 3/4-inch thick
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons good-quality aged balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or honey as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • Optional: fresh mint leaves or powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Gently toss until evenly coated and let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature to macerate.
  2. Slice the pound cake loaf into approximately 3/4-inch thick slices, aiming for uniform thickness.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium heat (about 350°F).
  4. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat both sides of each pound cake slice with melted unsalted butter.
  5. Place the buttered slices on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes per side until grill marks form and the cake is warm with crispy edges.
  6. Arrange grilled pound cake slices on a serving platter and spoon the sweet balsamic strawberries over each slice.
  7. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

If using frozen strawberries, thaw fully and drain excess liquid to avoid soggy cake. Butter is preferred for brushing the cake before grilling for best flavor and texture; coconut oil can be used for a dairy-free version. Watch grill heat carefully to avoid burning. Prepare strawberries ahead and chill for deeper flavor. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat cake slices briefly before serving and add fresh strawberries after reheating.
