4 sticks (1 pound) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for buttering the pan
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup half-and-half, at room temperature

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Shake and drop the pan onto the counter a couple times to release any air bubbles. Transfer to the oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, then slice and serve.

TOASTED POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES & CHOCOLATE CREAM RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Toasted Pound Cake with Strawberries & Chocolate Cream Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-5531

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 cup chocolate syrup, plus more for drizzling
1 quart strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 slices pound cake

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.

Conclusion:

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.
