Grilled Pound Cake with Crème Fraîche, Tangerines & Pomegranate
Yesterday morning we started off our New Year with something sweet… grilled pound cake. We only consumed one loaf, so today I wanted to play around with a new idea and use part of the other loaf. Use butter rum pound cake recipe or almond pound cake recipe. Crème fraîche is impossible to get here and when it is available, it cost a fortune. I however didn’t have time to make crème fraîche, so I made a quick and easy substitute.
Ingredients:
butter rum pound cake, crème fraîche, 3 tangerines, 1 pomegranate
Directions:
Heat grill pan over medium heat. Use a bread knife to slice the pound cake. Lightly butter each side of cake, place on hot pan and grill for about 30 seconds before flipping. Remove promptly from heat. Spread crème fraîche on one slice of pound cake and top with another slice. Peal tangerines and break into segments, remove any seeds. Add 1/2 a tangerine to each plate and sprinkle on the pomegranate seeds.
Crème Fraîche Substitute:
Whip together 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 a c. of sweet whipped cream (homemade, not out of a tub or can). You’re supposed to let it stand just like you would making true crème fraîche, but then it’s not any faster. Make and let it sit awhile with you mix the pound cake batter.
*Garnish with a sprinkle of confectioner’s sugar if desired.
Yesterday Hubster walked to the store to get orange juice and instead returned with an orange, pineapple, apple… I thought this would be a tasty variation for a mimosa…
What was on your breakfast plate?

Looks great!
Thank you, it’s one of my favorites!
This sounds delicious. I love poms and who doesn’t love pound cake?!
Thank you. I agree, I used the recipe I posted earlier to make our wedding cupcake tower…
Beautiful and delicious!
Thank you, I was quite proud of this…
So for some reason, WordPress won’t let me respond back to what you said in comments on the Jingle Bell post. So I thought I’d come here instead. That really is so cool that you have had so many diverse experiences and are able to celebrate in so many different ways. I’m so excited to see what you do for each celebration this year! And also excited to know that I’m not the only one with a Christmas tree still up. 😉
Oh! And this breakfast looks delightful! 🙂
Thanks. You have to adjust your preferences for your comments, how many nestled comments will you allow. I think default is three nested comments… but you can up it.
omg..this sounds so incredible! I think I need to pull out my pound cake recipe!
Let me know if you make it!!!
Wow, that is amazing! You need to open a B&B
Thank you, that would be a dream to do that!
What a coincidence – we also had mimosas that day. We had ours with chicken salad though…but it was on HM Wheat bread. Still, yours looks so much more, well more. I’m thinking I might try it for Valentines Day.
That would be the perfect occasion… how romantic! 🙂
This seems like an amazing combination! I don’t usually eat breakfast but this would be the perfect way to start the day.
Thank you, it def. was! I’m looking forward to making this again soon!
Yummy! Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks & welcome to my blog!
Ohhhhh I see now that is a MUCH more sophisticated sandwich! Still LOVE it!
It is a scrumptious breakfast or brunch! Thanks
