Grilled Rose Water Poundcake Food

PEACH COMPOTE WITH ROSE WATER

Steps:

• Peel and pit the peaches and chop them roughly. Combine them in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan with the sugar, 2 teaspoons of the rose water, and the salt. Cook over medium-high heat, occasionally stirring and mashing the peaches lightly with a wood spoon, until the peaches are very soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the remaining rose water, and serve over grilled rose-water poundcake (see recipe) or ice cream.

GRILLED POUND CAKE WITH BERRIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Clean the grill grates if necessary. Preheat the grill on high heat for 10 minutes.
• Slice the pound cake into 7 1-inch (2 ½ cm) slices. LIghtly brush both sides of each slice with melted butter. Set aside.
• Hold a paper towel between tongs and dip it in the canola oil. Carefully oil the grill grates.
• Thread about 4 strawberries onto each bamboo skewer. Place the skewers on the oiled grates, cover, and grill for 2 minutes on each side without disturbing, until the strawberries have grill marks. Transfer the skewered strawberries to a cutting board and let cool slightly.
• Reduce the grill to medium-high heat.
• Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise. Transfer to a large bowl with the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice and toss well. Let the berries macerate while you grill the pound cake.
• Arrange the slices of cake on the grates, cover, and grill for 2 minutes, then flip and grill on the other side for 2 minutes more, until the cake is well toasted with grill marks.
• Transfer the grilled cake to serving plates and top with a dollop of whipped cream and the macerated berries.
• Enjoy!

GRILLED ROSE-WATER POUNDCAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set side.
• Using an electric mixer, cream 1 1/2 sticks of the butter (12 tablespoons) in a large bowl until very smooth. Continuing to beat, slowly add the sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated. Beat in the rose water. Stir in the dry ingredients by hand until just incorporated.
• Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, then fold them gently into the butter-sugar mixture. (The batter will be quite stiff.)
• Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the surface, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow cake to rest for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a baking rack. Turn right side up and allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into 3/4-inch slices.
• Light a medium fire in a grill. When hot, brush each slice of cake lightly with some of the remaining butter and grill until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes a side. Serve immediately, accompanied by peach compote (see recipe).
