All Set to Bake? Getting Started is Easy!
Cake-related:
- Key is patience! Before assembling, ensure sure your cream cheese pound cake is totally cold.
- For a uniform taste and texture distribution in each scoop, cut the cake into bite-sized chunks.
To the Berries:
- Squeeze lemon or lime juice and sprinkle sugar over cut strawberries on a dish.
- Spend some time letting the mixture rest. This makes the berries’ natural juices come out and their taste is enhanced.
Regarding the Filling
- Smooth and creamy, beat together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and melted strawberry preserves.
- Playing about? For a vivid pink colour, add a drop or two of food colouring. For a really opulent finish, fold in some whipped cream.
Putting Together Your Work of Art:
- Get out your largest, most attractive baking dish. Layering is in order!
- To provide a nice citrus kick, start with a cake cube foundation and then sprinkle with orange juice.
- Then top with a layer of macerated strawberries and generously pour your strawberry cream cheese filling. Frost with a spoonful of whipped cream.
- Stack these layers until your dish is full, then top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Perfectionism Chilling
- To keep your baking dish from drying out, securely cover it. Perfectly fine options are aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
- Give it a few hours or more in the refrigerator to for the flavors to nicely combine.
