Ingredients

Pound Cake:

Grilled Plums:

  • Nonstick, nonflammable cooking spray
  • 12 ripe plums, pitted and thickly sliced
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
  • Honey, for serving
  • Fresh mint, for garnish

Directions

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch fluted tube pan or Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray with flour .

In a large bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese at medium-high speed with a mixer until creamy. Add the sugar, beating until fluffy. Beat in the extract.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour and baking powder. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined. Add 2 eggs, beating until just combined. Repeat the procedure twice with the remaining flour mixture and eggs. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cover the cake with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning during last 10 minutes of baking, if necessary. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.

For the plums: Spray the grill rack with nonstick, nonflammable cooking spray. Preheat the grill to medium heat.

Brush the plum slices evenly with the melted butter. Grill the plums until just softened, 2 minutes per side.

Slice the cake and serve with grilled plums. Drizzle with honey and garnish with mint, if desired.

    This cake turned out very nice and tasted wonderful. I am known for baking all kinds of layer cakes so understanding cake recipes I left out some butter & decreased the sugar and the cake was fine. I added lemon zest, increased lemon extract to 1 teaspoon & made a lemon glaze instead of grilled plums. I was so excited I couldn't wait for the cake to cool so I had a slice warm it was so good. My mother loves anything lemon which was why I bumped up the lemon flavor.

    I made this for Valentine's Day, it came out fantastic. I did add orange zest and some of that orange's juice. The added flavor was great. I also made a fresh blueberry and blueberry jam hot compote to add on top (from Melissa DeArabian this came out fantastic as well. I gave some to one of our neighbors as well to enjoy and they loved it too. Once again Paula, Jamie and Bobby thank you for your great recipes. Kathy
