With the summer months approaching, this is a "cool" way to dress up your dessert(s).
Pound cake or angel food cake sliced/cubed. Place on a nonstick baking sheet and baked at 350 - turn halfway thru baking, about 4 mins through cooking time. Keep checking so it doesn't get too brown. Alternately, you can saute the pound cake slices/cubes in butter in a skillet, or grill with assorted fruits of choice, ie mangos, peaches, pineapple, etc.
The pound cake cake can be any flavor of choice i.e. chocolate, lemon, lemon & blueberry, chocolate chip, pumpkin, eggnog etc. (A pound cake recipe I want to try is earl gray & rosemary.) Banana bread "croutons" is another idea.
A few ideas for the "croutons":
Parfaits - Layer lemon yogurt (or honey mixed w vanilla yogurt), w berries - strawberries, blueberries, or mangos.
Top a fruit soup (strawberry, peach etc.) w the "croutons."
Ice cream parfaits.
Fruit trifle.
Grilled fruit kebabs & pound cake croutons. Alternate the fruits with the cubed pound cake on skewers.
Let your imagination be your guide.
