Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup heavy cream
3 tbsp confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp dark rum
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp pure dried ancho chile powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 large mango (peeled and cut into 1/3-inch wedges)
1 medium papaya, halved (seeded, peeled and cut into 1/3-inch wedges)
1 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh basil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
6 slices homemade butter lb cake (1 1/4-inch) or 6 slices fresh bakery butter lb cake (1 1/4-inch)
3 tbsp toasted sliced almonds (to garnish

Directions:

MAKE THE WHIPPED CREAM:
In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, softly whip the heavy cream.
Add the confectioners' sugar, rum and vanilla and whip the cream until firm peaks form.
Refrigerate the whipped cream.
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
In a medium saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a simmer over moderately high heat with the cinnamon and chile powder.
Add the chocolate chips and vanilla.
Remove from the heat and let stand for 1 minute, then whisk to blend; keep warm.
MAKE THE FRUIT SALAD:
In a medium bowl, toss the mango and papaya with the basil and vanilla.
PREPARE THE POUND CAKE:
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan.
Butter both sides of the pound cake slices.
Grill the pound cake over moderate heat, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Set a slice of grilled pound cake on each of 6 plates and top each one with 3 tablespoons of the warm chocolate sauce and the fruit salad.
Top each serving with a dollop of the rum whipped cream and sprinkle with the toasted almonds.
Pass the remaining chocolate sauce at the table.
**MAKE AHEAD The whipped cream and fruit salad can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours; whip the cream gently before serving. The chocolate sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 days; rewarm before serving.
