Ingredients
- 2 12 oz store-bought pound cakes (2 x 340 g)
- 2 lb fresh strawberries about 907 g
- 8 oz Cool Whip 227 g
Instructions
- Slice the pound cake into cubes. Remove the strawberry tops and quarter the strawberries.
- In 4 cups, layer pound cake cubes, then Cool Whip (pipe it if you like), then chopped strawberries.
- Add a second layer of cake. Top with more Cool Whip and a few chopped strawberries.
Notes
Optional: Toss strawberries with 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar (12 to 25 g) and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (5 ml) and let sit 10 minutes for a softer, more jammy layer.
For the prettiest layers, keep ingredients cold and use a piping bag or zip-top bag for the Cool Whip.
