Grilled Lemon-Poppy Seed Pound Cake with Summer Berries and Crème Fraîche

Serves 4

4 thick slices store-bought lemon-poppy seed pound cake
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 pint blueberries
1/2 pint raspberries
3/4 cup crème fraîche

1. Prepare a medium fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on medium.
2. Arrange the pound cake in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and brush the slices on both sides with the butter.
3. Oil the grill grate. Arrange the cake slices directly over the medium fire and grill, turning once, until grill marks appear on both sides and the slices are warmed through and toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
4. To serve, place a slice of grilled cake on each dessert plate. Spoon the berries over the top, and add a dollop of crème fraîche. Serve immediately.
