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.

    everyone loved this pound cake. I didn't have the plums and will try them next time but the cake gets a 5 star rating whether the plums turn out good or not! I will also experiment with other flavors. Great recipe. I should add that I have made this 3x now and I have to cook it longer than stated in the recipe, more like 1 hour and 20-25 min. My thermostat is accurate

    I must have done something wrong with this recipe, because I don't find it to be very good. Texture is not what I was looking for. Not like her grandmother's pound cake recipe. I used all the ingredients that were listed, the texture came out "crisp" and not the fine crumb I was hoping for. Will go back to the wonderful other pound cake recipe of hers.
