Time 33m

Yield 8 to 10 cars

Number Of Ingredients 6

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
Sour candy ribbon, rock candy, and mini chocolate sandwich cookies, for decorating

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the whipped topping, cream cheese, and coconut extract.
  • Frost the car shaped cakes with a small amount of the coconut frosting.
  • To decorate the cars: Use ribbon candy as racing stripes, rock candy as windows, and mini chocolate sandwich cookies as wheels.
