Strawberry-Citrus Shortcake

Servings:

Bright and refreshing, this strawberry-citrus shortcake recipe is not your ordinary strawberry shortcake. The lemon pound cake is sweeter than a biscuit with just a hint of citrus. Topped with fresh strawberries and tangy, sweetened yogurt, this dessert is truly hard to resist.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. 2 Sift cake flour and salt together into a bowl. Beat 1 ⅓ cups sugar and butter together in a large bowl until light colored and fluffy; stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended. Mix in eggs, one at a time, alternating with flour mixture. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until top springs back when lightly touched, or a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool cake in the pan 15 minutes before turning out of the pan.
  4. 4 Meanwhile, place strawberries in a separate bowl; toss gently with ⅓ cup sugar, cover, and refrigerate until needed.
  5. 5 Combine yogurt, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl; stir until well blended. Top cake slices with strawberries; dollop with yogurt-cream mixture.
