  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • Pinch of fine sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. While the grill is heating, slice the pound cake into ¾-inch to 1-inch-thick slices.
  3. Stir together the melted butter, honey, and salt. Brush this mixture over both sides of each slice of pound cake.
  4. Place the cake slices on the grill. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until toasted with deeply golden grill marks.
  5. Serve warm with ice cream, grilled fruit, whipped cream, or your favorite topping.

Notes

  • If using salted butter, omit the pinch of salt.
  • If using a frozen pound cake, such as Sara Lee, let the cake thaw according to package directions before you begin the recipe.
