A delightful and easy-to-make dessert featuring fresh strawberries and a creamy filling.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the strawberries' appearance.
Combine the strawberries with the granulated sugar in a mixing bowl, stirring gently to coat.
Let the strawberries sit for a few minutes to release their natural juices.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Use a gentle folding motion to keep the mixture light and airy.
Cut the pound cake into cubes and layer them in the bottom of a refrigerator-safe dish.
Arrange the cake cubes evenly for a uniform base.
Spread the cream mixture over the cake layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Ensure the cream layer covers all the cake pieces for consistent flavor.
Top with the sugared strawberries, spreading them evenly.
Drizzle any remaining strawberry juice over the top for added flavor.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive dessert.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Strawberry Delight Cake.
Garnish with a sprig of mint for a touch of elegance.
