Strawberry shortcake is a quintessential summertime dessert. The next time you prepare this delicious treat, try grilling the strawberries and the pound cake. Rolling the strawberries in sugar and grilling them caramelizes the strawberries and creates a yummy glaze. Spoon them over slices of grilled pound cake, and the dessert tastes similar to a strawberry cobbler. It's a fun play on strawberry shortcake and guaranteed to become a family favorite.
