POUNDCAKE AND STRAWBERRIES
A hard man I know made this dessert once out of supermarket cake and industrial strawberries, to serve small children who were maybe slightly afraid of him. They gurgled with delight when he slid bowls of it before them: the cake cut into large cubes and served beneath the macerated strawberries, with fresh whipped cream. This formed a bond between them all. In the crowd in which I run, poundcake and strawberries has since become a spring and summer standard, the cake home-made and, when we're lucky, the strawberries gathered from fields nearby. But not always. A supermarket version is a worthy substitute.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a bowl or a standing mixer, beat the butter until it is creamed, then add the sugar, beating until it is well mixed. Beat the eggs in a bowl and add them to the mixture. Add the salt. Add the flour, a little bit at a time, and then the vanilla, the lemon zest and juice, mixing to incorporate.
- Grease and flour a Bundt pan or two cake pans. Pour in the batter. Bake for approximately 1 1/4 hours, or until a knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Turn the cake out and allow to cool on a rack.
- Cut the cake into large cubes. Combine strawberries with sugar in a bowl and allow to sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Put strawberries on top of cake. Top with whipped cream.
