1
Heat the grill to medium high. Gently toss the strawberries and rhubarb with the oil. Place cut side down on the grill or in a grill vegetable basket on the grill. Cook until grill marks appear and the rhubarb is slightly tender. Place the grilled fruit in a medium bowl with the sugar and gently toss; cover with plastic wrap for about 15 minutes or until the rhubarb is tender.
2
Add the vanilla to the fruit and set aside. With hand beaters, whip the cream with the powdered sugar just until soft peaks form.
3
To serve: On a plate, place 2 slices pound cake, top with the strawberry-rhubarb mixture and dollop with whipped cream.
