Steps:
- For cake: Preheat oven to 350 F, and prepare pans with parchment circles and lightly spray with baking spray. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. Add baking emulsion, lemon zest, lemon juice and mix well.

TOASTED POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES & CHOCOLATE CREAM RECIPE - (4.5/5)
Provided by á-5531
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Beat the heavy cream and 1/4 cup chocolate syrup in a bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use. Hull and chop all but 6 strawberries and toss them with the sugar in a separate bowl; set aside. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on medium-high power in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Dip the 6 whole berries in the chocolate, then transfer to a sheet of parchment paper and let cool. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pound cake slices and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add the chopped strawberries and 1 tablespoon water and cook until juicy, about 2 minutes. Drizzle some chocolate syrup on each plate; top each with a piece of pound cake. Top with some of the chopped strawberries and their juices, a dollop of the chocolate whipped cream and a chocolate-covered strawberry.
Tips:
- Select the Right Pound Cake: Choose a store-bought or homemade pound cake that is slightly dense and firm, as it will hold up better during the toasting process.
- Use Quality Citrus: Opt for fresh, juicy oranges and lemons for the citrus cream, as they will provide the most vibrant flavor.
- Toast the Pound Cake Properly: Preheat the oven or toaster oven to the desired temperature and toast the pound cake until golden brown and crispy on the outside while remaining moist and tender on the inside.
- Make the Citrus Cream Ahead of Time: The citrus cream can be made several hours or even a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Garnish for Presentation: Add a touch of elegance by garnishing the toasted pound cake with fresh citrus zest, mint leaves, or berries before serving.

With its delightful combination of crispy toasted pound cake and creamy citrus topping, this dessert is a true crowd-pleaser. Easy to prepare and customizable with various citrus fruits, it's perfect for any occasion, whether it's a casual brunch, an afternoon tea party, or a special dinner.
