I really can’t even call this one a recipe. It’s not even semi-homemade… It’s just really easy and really good. Costco makes the best pound cake in their bakery. It is sold in a three pack and is called “All Butter Loaf”. And that it is!
Layer the pound cake with freshly whipped cream, and sliced strawberries. I love this for a crowd because you can make it ahead of time, and it looks pretty served in clear classes. I use the rim of the glass to cut the pound cake into circles. Freeze extra loaves of pound cake for later use.

This looks like a great dinner party dessert! I have served guests pound cake with macerated strawberries before and it’s delicious. Macerating the strawberries takes no time at all (just throw them in a bowl with sugar) and makes even less than perfect strawberries look beautiful. The “sauce” it adds to the berries would be awesome with your trifle! Thanks for sharing!
Blondie, you are right, macerating the strawberries would take this dessert up a notch. Thanks for the idea!
Where did you get these glasses?
Sorry, I’ve had them so long I don’t remember.
