Recipe Notes
- If you don't have Grand Marnier or don't like using alcohol in recipes, replace with your favorite citrus juice.
- Don't let the strawberries macerate so long that they become mushy. You just want them to release their juices.
- Want an even more indulgent dessert? Use chocolate whipped cream!
- Want more strawberries? Use two pints and double the Grand Marnier and sugar.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the strawberries into a mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and Grand Marnier. Stir and let them sit for 30 minutes.
- Put the heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoon powdered sugar and vanilla into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer pr whisk, beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Put half of the pound cake onto a serving platter. Top with the whipped cream, then macerated strawberries. Add the top half of the cake and dust with powdered sugar. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
