grilled cake and pineapple, with toasted coconut
Grilled cake?
Yes, I couldn’t resist grilling cake, really and it was delicious.
I loved the toasted taste and the crispy edges, and so I piled on grilled pineapple and this easy and wonderful sauce, oh and then it was topped off with toasted coconut and a cherry.
Really, you can’t go wrong with a cherry on top, can you?
Sam’s Club asked me “Will it Grill?”
I walked the Aisles of the store wondering what I could come up with to grill that maybe you don’t see everyday. I had a few ideas along the way, but once I saw the Angel Food Cake I knew… I’m going to grill cake and fruit and put that delicious cheesecake dip I’ve made for years on it and I dress it up like a sundae….hence the cherry on top.
- 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
- 3 oz marshmallow fluff
- 1 Angel Food Cake
- 1 package pineapple spears
- 1 cup toasted coconut
- Maraschino Cherries
- Mix room temperature cream cheese with marshmallow fluff until smooth and creamy. Place this into piping bag.
- Toast coconut in pan on medium-low heat until golden.
- Slice Angel Food Cake into 1 1/2 inch-2 inch slices.
- Preheat grill to 350 degrees.
- Place pineapple on grill for 10 minutes turning so all sides get heated evenly.
- Place Angel Food Pieces on Grill the last 4 minutes while you are grilling the pineapple, turning each minute to toast each side. They will then all be done about the same time.
- Place the cake on the serving plate with a drizzle of the sauce then add the pineapple and another drizzle of sauce, top with toasted coconut and a cherry.
The “sauce” reminds me of a cheesecake-ish filling. It’s great on other fruit as well. You can add vanilla extract to it, or another extract that you prefer. This would be great with lemon extract and I did see a lemon bundt cake while I was shopping and you could take this dessert in another direction and go with a whole lemon theme, just an idea!

I would love grilled veges with a sprig of rosemary and thyme – hmmmm and then maybe grilled fruit – I can’t wait to have them.
Great blog – I have never visited before but I will be a regular now.

I have not been able to find a dough recipe for grilled pizza that I like. Maybe you can share a recipe you find for it. Thanks for the recipes and great giveaway!

Diane says
Hi Heather, this is the recipe I’ve used for both pretzels and pizza and I found it to be good. I have found a local place that makes great pizza dough with semolina flour and it’s light and crispy, so I typically purchase it now. I have heard that using bread flour makes the pizza dough have more stretch, which may be worth a try. Also I recently purchased a pizza dough enhancer from King Arthur but haven’t used it yet, but I’m anxious to see how it will work. Hope that is helpful 🙂

Definitely grill some watermelon next. It sounds weird, but it works! You can even salt it if you’re feeling especially adventurous.

As for what you should grill next, I think you should grill peaches and make grilled peach ice cream!

Grilled peaches are nothing new, but I’ve been toying around with the idea of a grilled peach cobbler, so I think you should try that! Thanks for the chance to win! Andrea

I think you should grill some pizza
Brandie @ Home Cooking Memories says
Gosh, that looks so good! I think you’ve gotten some great suggestions on what to grill next. If you haven’t done the pizza on the grill, you should definitely do that. I think another interesting idea would be to a grilled sandwich of some kind…right on the grill. Something panini-like, I suppose.
Diane says
yes I will try the grilled sandwich, was even thinking “Grilled Cheese” . I grill pizza all the time, funny I’ve never blogged it before. I love grilled pizza! Thanks so much Brandie 🙂
