Ingredients for Bbq Cake

How to Make Bbq Cake

  1. Preheat your barbecue grill to medium heat (approximately 350°F/175°C).
  2. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Cut the pound cake into thick slices, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk.
  5. Dip each slice of pound cake into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  6. Gently remove the slices and allow excess liquid to drip off; don't squeeze.
  7. Grill the cake slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly golden brown and grill marks appear. Aim for a decorative square pattern if desired.
  8. Remove from grill and let rest for a minute.
  9. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar.
  10. Serve immediately with fresh berries, whipped cream (Chantilly cream), or a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
  11. For an extra touch of warmth, add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon to the egg and milk mixture.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
