Pound Cake Toppers

Since we just learned how to make a pound cake from scratch let's figure out what we want to put on top if it!!


The first is simple. Strawberries and just a touch of sugar, in a sauce pan, over low heat. Now, grab your potato masher and just stir and mash until they are the consistency that you want. I can’t tell you how many strawberries or how much sugar because I just kind of threw stuff in the sauce pan when I did it. You can just put this sauce directly on to your slice of pound cake when it is time to eat.

The second requires just a touch more work. You’ll need a lemon from which you will need a teaspoon of lemon zest and 2.5 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add a pinch of salt (I think I left that out when I made this) and work in six ounces of powdered sugar with a whisk in a couple installments. You’re going to have to work quickly before the glaze sets. With your cake on top of a plate or pan/cookie sheet to catch the drippings slowly drizzle the glaze over the cake. Yummy!!

Ok so technically I came up with the strawberry sauce before I learned how to make the pound cake.
But I assure you it is on top of the homemade cake in this picture!!

I have not made the lemon glaze in a while so I will have to post a picture of it next time I do make it.
