GRILLED ROSE-WATER POUNDCAKE
Rose water adds a delicate, floral note to this otherwise traditional pound cake. Two teaspoons is just enough to stand up to the smoky flavors of a light toasting on the grill. Serve it all with a peach compote, also with a touch of rose water, for an elegant warm-weather treat.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and set side.
- Using an electric mixer, cream 1 1/2 sticks of the butter (12 tablespoons) in a large bowl until very smooth. Continuing to beat, slowly add the sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating after each addition until incorporated. Beat in the rose water. Stir in the dry ingredients by hand until just incorporated.
- Beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks, then fold them gently into the butter-sugar mixture. (The batter will be quite stiff.)
- Transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the surface, and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Allow cake to rest for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a baking rack. Turn right side up and allow to cool to room temperature before cutting into 3/4-inch slices.
- Light a medium fire in a grill. When hot, brush each slice of cake lightly with some of the remaining butter and grill until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes a side. Serve immediately, accompanied by peach compote (see recipe).
