Ingredients
  

  • 1 store bought pound cake loaf sliced into 8 slices
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries sliced

Instructions
 

  • Heat an outdoor grill or stovetop grill to medium-high heat. Grease with cooking spray or vegetable oil. Grill the pound cake slices for about 2 minutes per side, or until golden grill marks form on both sides. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool.
  • Whip the cream in a large mixing bowl until somewhat thick. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue to beat until soft peaks form. Do not over-mix, or you'll end up making butter instead.
  • Assemble the shortcakes by topping half of the pound cake slices with whipped cream and sliced strawberries. Top each with the remaining pound cake slices. Eat right away. Enjoy!
