Rum And Honey Grilled Pineapple On Toasted Pound Cake Recipes

TOASTED POUND CAKE WITH CITRUS CREAM

Steps:

• For the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange the pound cake in a single layer on the prepared pan. Brush with the melted butter and drizzle with honey. Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
• For the citrus cream: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat all the ingredients together until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute.
• To assemble: Spoon the citrus-cream filling on the cooled pound cake slices. Top with orange segments and serve.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH POUND CAKE AND RUM-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over high heat, add the brown sugar and rum and cook, whisking until the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth. Whisk in the heavy cream and cook until heated through and slightly thickened. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, keep warm.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the pineapple on both sides with the oil and place on the grill. Grill until golden brown and caramelized on both sides, about 6 minutes. Remove from the grill, stack the slices and cut into chunks. While the pineapple is grilling, place the pound cake on the grill until lightly golden brown on both sides, about 20 seconds on each side. Remove the pineapple from the grill and, when cool enough to handle, either slice or cut into chunks.
• Top each piece of pound cake with some of the pineapple and drizzle with the caramel-rum sauce. Top with more pound cake, vanilla ice cream and a maraschino cherry, if desired.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE UPSIDE DOWN CAKE

Steps:

• Whisk together the honey, sugar, lemon juice, rum, if using, vanilla bean paste, cinnamon, ginger and salt in a small bowl. Place pineapple rings in a large, shallow dish and pour marinade over. Allow to sit for 30 minutes at room temperature to macerate.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F and preheat a grill or grill pan for cooking over medium-high heat. Grease a 12-inch metal fry pan or cast-iron skillet with butter.
• Remove the pineapple rings from the maceration liquid and reserve liquid. Oil the grill grates. Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook until slightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from grill and let cool slightly before cutting 6 of the rings in to half-moons, leaving one ring intact.
• Prepare the cake mix according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Place the intact pineapple ring in the center of the greased skillet. Lay the halved rings around the central ring, all facing the same direction. Pour half of the maceration liquid into the pan over the pineapple. Pour the cake batter over.
• Bake, rotating the skillet halfway through, until top is golden and cake springs back when pressed, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool until just slightly warm, then carefully invert onto a cutting board or large platter. Slice and drizzle with remaining maceration liquid, then serve with vanilla ice cream.
