Instructions
Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice and 6 pineapple rings (save remaining juice and pineapple for another use).
Combine butter, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Brush half of the mixture on both sides of pineapple rings and cake slices.
On an uncovered grill over medium heat, cook pineapple and cake for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown, brushing occasionally with remaining pineapple juice mixture.
Top each slice of cake with a pineapple ring. Top with raspberries, nuts and whipped cream, if desired.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port
Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port are my top picks for Pound Cake. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Solera Cream Sherry with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 17 dollars per bottle.

NV Solera Cream Sherry
The Solera Cream Sherry has a brilliant amber and deep copper hue. With butterscotch and pecan aromas, the sweet salted nut and brown spice aromas carry a complex caramel accent. A sweet entry leads to a rounded, lush, moderately full-bodied palate with a lengthy, flavorful finish.
