Bright and refreshing, this is not your ordinary strawberry shortcake. The lemon pound cake is sweeter than a biscuit with just a hint of citrus. Topped with fresh strawberries and tangy, sweetened yogurt, this dessert is truly addictive!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/3 cups white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 eggs
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
- 1 ½ cups yogurt
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Step 2
Sift the cake flour and salt into a bowl. Cream the butter with 1 1/3 cups sugar in a large mixing bowl until light colored and fluffy. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, alternating with the flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake cake in preheated oven until top springs back when lightly touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool cake 15 minutes before turning out of pan.
Step 4
Meanwhile, place strawberries in a separate bowl. Toss gently with 1/3 cup sugar, cover, and refrigerate until needed.
Step 5
Combine the yogurt, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl, and stir until well blended. To serve, top slices of cake with strawberries and a dollop of the cream mixture.
