i’ve always said that i’m more of a cook, not a baker so i don’t make many desserts. but since this one is crazy easy, has one of my favorite ingredients (pineapple), is season suitable (summer) and man enough for even you guys to make (grill) i thought it would be a good recipe of the week.
Ingredients
- 1 (20 oz) can sliced pineapple – i prefer fresh too, but for this recipe it’s actually better to get canned
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 slices pound cake – or you can be fancy & make your own
- Raspberries, for topping
- Nuts, for topping
- Whipped cream, for topping
Directions
Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice and 6 pineapple rings (save remaining juice and pineapple for another use).
Combine butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Brush half of the mixture on both sides of pineapple rings and cake slices.
On an uncovered grill over medium heat, cook pineapple and cake for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, brushing occasionally with remaining pineapple juice mixture.
Top each slice of cake with a pineapple ring. Top with raspberries, nuts and whipped cream, if desired. Serve immediately.
YUM!

Cooked fruit!! Ahhhh, run away! 🙂
If I liked cooked fruit, this would look yummy to me. B/c it LOOKS gooooood.
i KNEW you were going to say that! actually you can do this w/o grilling the pineapple, just make sure it’s not cold. grill the pound cake and just don’t brush the pineapple w/ the mix… brush the pound cake extra! 🙂 xo
I think I’ve had this at your place before…. its mmmmmm!
