Ingredients
1 loaf pound cake
2 pounds fresh strawberries
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup strawberry sauce
1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
Instructions
Dice the pound cake into uniform one-inch cubes using a serrated knife.
Wash, hull, and thinly slice the strawberries.
Combine sliced strawberries with sugar if extra sweetness is desired.
Place a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of each glass cup.
Drizzle a small spoonful of strawberry sauce over the cake layer.
Add a generous layer of sliced strawberries over the moistened cake.
Pipe or spoon a thick layer of whipped cream over the fruit.
Repeat the layers until the cup is full.
Finish with a large dollop of whipped cream on top and garnish as desired.
Notes
Assemble the cups up to one hour before serving to keep the cake texture perfect. Use a serrated knife to cut the cake to avoid crushing it. You can garnish with a fresh mint leaf for extra color.
