Grated peel of 1 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
3/4 cup blueberry preserves
3/4 cup blueberries, plus more for garnish
3/4 cup strawberries, chopped, plus sliced strawberries for garnish
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, chilled
2 12-ounce pound cakes, sliced crosswise 1/3 inch thick
Recipe Method
1. In a small saucepan, bring 1/3 cup water, the granulated sugar and the lemon peel to a boil, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup water, the preserves and the berries and cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
3. Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, mix together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture.
4. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with a layer of pound cake slices, cutting to fit as needed. Brush with the lemon syrup and spread half the berry sauce on top. Spoon half the cream cheese mixture over the berries. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
5. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. Release from the springform pan and top with more berries before serving.
