Instructions
Strawberries Lenox
Place cut strawberries into a medium bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the orange juice, sugar and Blue Curaçao.
Pour over the strawberries and gently toss to completely coat.
Cover and refrigerate at least two hours before using.
Pound Cake
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Prepare a 9 X 5-inch loaf pan by spraying with with cooking spray and lightly flouring it.
Cream the butter.
Slowly add the sugar and beat until light.
Add the eggs, one at a time and beat until well incorporated.
Add the vanilla.
Stir in the flour and salt and mix well.
Pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Then run a knife around the sides of the cake to loosen it before turning it out on a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut half the loaf into one inch cubes.
Whipped Cream
Pour the whipping cream into a mixer and beat at medium for about 3 minutes until soft to medium peaks form. Gradually add sugar while beating.
Assembly
In a trifle bowl, place a single layer of poundcake cubes on the bottom.
Cover with a third of the Strawberries Lenox and remember to use that juice!
Sprinkle with 1/3 of the blueberries.
Evenly spread 1/3 of the whipped cream to cover the bottom layer.
Repeat process until reaching the top of the bowl.
Top with remaining whipped cream, sprinkle with a few blueberries and seal the deal with those whole strawberries.
Refrigerate until serving.
Notes
Don't be scared by the extensive list of ingredients and directions. It comes together quickly and it is SO worth it!
Prepare the strawberries first because they'll need a couple hours to soak up that goodness in the fridge and can do that while you prepare and bake the cake.
I used the Pam Baking spray on the loaf pan and it worked like a charm.
