happy monday! i am finally sharing the recipe for that grilled pound cake i talked about over on instagram the other week. as i mentioned before, justin & i got a barbecue for modest house which has been used pretty much every single day since. we are even grilling dessert on it! i got the barbecue from wayfair cananda (yay free shipping)! we didn't want a classic stainless steel model so i was excited when i saw this bronze and black model by dyna-glo. it is a 4-burner barbecue with a side burner too. we opted for the natural gas version & had a gas line installed this month so we never have to fill a propane tank again! our kitchen range is also gas so it wasn't much of a hassle to run the line outside too. now this pound cake! i loveeee pound cake in general but adding a little extra smokey flavour from the grill & topping it with sweet grilled plums took it to another level. you could top it with grilled peaches too once those are in season! i will definitly be doing that this summer. find the recipe below as well as the link to our shiny new barbecue.
p.s. don't forget to top it with whipped cream!!!
