grilled cake and pineapple, with toasted coconut

April 18, 2012

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.

Print
Ingredients
  • 4 oz cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 3 oz marshmallow fluff
  • 1 Angel Food Cake
  • 1 package pineapple spears
  • 1 cup toasted coconut
  • Maraschino Cherries
Instructions
  1. Mix room temperature cream cheese with marshmallow fluff until smooth and creamy. Place this into piping bag.
  2. Toast coconut in pan on medium-low heat until golden.
  3. Slice Angel Food Cake into 1 1/2 inch-2 inch slices.
  4. Preheat grill to 350 degrees.
  5. Place pineapple on grill for 10 minutes turning so all sides get heated evenly.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!

      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 🙂

    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.
