Strawberry-Citrus Shortcake

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.
