Grilled Pound Cake with Berry and Chocolate Sauces

I have never attempted some grilled desserts but I enjoy them when I have them.  Here is attempt #1... Hearn manned the grill as the only time he attempted to teach me how to use it, a fire ball almost engulfed his face.  I haven't tried since. Anyway, grilling the pound cake gives it a nice smokey flavor as well as nice crunch for some texture... delish ;)


1 recipe for Pound Cake

Melted butter
whipped topping
Berry Sauce:
1 c strawberries, sliced
1 c blueberries
1/2 c packed brown sugar
3 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Chocolate Sauce:
3/4 c heavy whipping cream
1 tbsp light corn syrup
1 1/3 c semi sweet chocolate morsels

In a medium saucepan, combine ingredients for berry sauce.  Simmer over medium high heat till bubbly.  Then reduce to low and let simmer 5-8 minutes.  Set aside and let cool.  In another medium saucepan, heat whipping cream and corn syrup over medium high heat until boils.  Remove from heat and stir in morsels.  Cover and let stand 4 minutes; stir well till all morsels melt.

Cut pound cake in 1 inch slice and brush each side with melted butter.  Heat grill to highest setting.  Place pound cake directly above flame and cook 3-4 minutes until grill marks form and repeat on reverse side.

To assemble, place piece of pound cake in bowl.  Top with two spoonfuls of each sauce and top with  whipped topping.
