Soak 6 wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill to medium heat.
Cut pineapple in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 wedges lengthwise. Insert a skewer into each wedge. Combine butter and oil in a small bowl and brush pineapple with mixture.
Place skewers onto grill and close lid. Turn skewers after 3 minutes or when pineapple has grill marks. Repeat on remaining sides.
Brush pound cake on both sides with butter mixture and grill about 60 seconds per side or until toasted.
Serve toasted pound cake topped with a pineapple wedge, a scoop of ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of hazelnuts, if desired.
