1 store bought frozen pound cake, thawed
Melted butter, for brushing
12 ounces whipped topping
1 block (8 ounces) soft cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract

Set up the grill for direct cooking over medium heat and oil the grates.
Slice the pound cake into 3/4-inch thick slices with a serrated knife.
Using car-shaped cookie cutters, cut out car shapes from the slices of cake. Brush with butter and place on the grill. Cook until nice grill marks appear, about 3 minutes.
