This is a recipe I found online. It looks yummy but to be honest I haven't tried it yet. We grill out year round so I will be trying it soon. I love toasted pound cake and this takes it a step up.

How To Make cherry ambrosia

Step 1

Preheat a grill for medium heat cooking. Very lightly oil the cake slices with cooking spray, then grill until browned and marked, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Place on a cutting board and cut into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

In a very large bowl, combine cherries, bananas, coconut and orange juice and toss to coat. Add cake cubes and toss just until coated. Add a few more tablespoons orange juice to further moisten the cake if desired.
