GRILLED POUND CAKE SUNDAES
Grilled pound cake with pineapple, fruit, and ice cream. A good no bake recipe for hot weather. If fresh pineapple is not available use canned pineapple slices, drained, 2 per serving. Substitute any fresh fruits in season. For a no-grill option, broil pound cake and pineapple separately on a rack set 6" from heat source until lightly browned, turning once, 1 or 2 minutes per side. Instead of cooking spray, use additional melted butter to coat pound cake slices. The original recipe from Woman's World magazine called for serving with caramel topping and dulce de leche ice cream. I skipped the caramel topping and served it with French vanilla ice cream.

COCONUT AND PASSION FRUIT POUND CAKE
This one is for my mom. It's a simple pound cake inspired by the flavors of her tropical home. True pound cake relies on the lift that comes from creaming the butter and sugar perfectly. This recipe includes a little bit of insurance in the form of baking powder. It's a great beginner cake. Easy to make yet special. In most recipes, I call for unsweetened shredded coconut, but this loaf is an exception. The sugar and moisture that comes from classic sweetened shredded coconut is important for the soft texture of this cake.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan.

- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the buttermilk and the passion fruit pulp and seeds.
- With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter, sugar, and coconut oil in a large bowl until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Alternate adding the flour mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the egg mixture, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in 1 cup of the toasted coconut.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup of toasted coconut. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool for 1 hour, then remove the cake from the pan and let cool completely.

Tips
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe tropical fruit. If you can't find fresh tropical fruit, you can use frozen fruit that has been thawed and drained.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pound cake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- To make the coconut cream, simply combine one can of full-fat coconut milk with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth.
- If you don't have any rum on hand, you can omit it from the recipe. However, the rum adds a delicious flavor to the sundaes, so if you have some, I recommend using it.
- These sundaes are best served immediately after assembly. However, you can make the pound cake and coconut cream ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion
Grilled Coconut Pound Cake Sundaes with Tropical Fruit are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The grilled pound cake is moist and flavorful, the coconut cream is rich and creamy, and the tropical fruit adds a pop of sweetness and acidity. These sundaes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
