Serve this pound cake all by itself, or drizzled with your favorite fresh fruits, or topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce.
My favorite way to serve it is still this:
Butter lightly both sides of a slice of pound cake and grill in a skillet or on a griddle till golden on each side. Top with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream, fresh macerated strawberries and Chantilly Cream. It's the most delicious strawberry shortcake ever.
Of course you can grill the pound cake and make a completely decadent hot fudge pound cake out of it as well. Along with the hot fudge sauce put a drizzle of raspberry liquor.....let your imagination go crazy!!
