The weather is warming up and berry season is just about upon us. For me, that means it's about time to enjoy all kinds of fruity desserts and I can hardly wait! To celebrate the start of spring, Entenmann's® is putting a fresh twist on a classic dessert favorite, pound cake with berries! From grilled to a la mode, fans can create easy, fun, and delicious pound cake recipe combos using Entenmann's Mini Pound Cake.

This time of year, I am all about strawberry shortcake. My mom always made it with angel food cake, but I decided to take her recipe and recreate my own version by using Entenmann's Mini Pound Cake in a Strawberry Shortcake for 1 recipe.

When you have a few strawberries leftover in the fridge, individual strawberry shortcake is the best way to use them up. All you need is 5 ingredients for a scrumptious seasonal dessert that can be whipped up in minutes.

Individual Strawberry Shortcake

 

INGREDIENTS:

• 6 medium ripe strawberries
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 tablespoon sugar
• 1 Entenmann's® Mini Pound Cake
• whipped topping

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash and slice the tops off of the strawberries. Pat dry.
2. Slice berries into quarters, then using a fork or pastry cutter, mash the berries into a slightly chunky consistency. 
3. Pour half the milk over the mashed berries and stir. If the consistency is to your liking, discard the rest of the milk. If not, continue stirring in the remainder of the milk until you reach your desired sauce consistency.
4. Stir sugar into berry mix.
5. Place Entenmann's Mini Pound Cake on plate. Pour berry sauce over pound cake. Top with whipped topping. 
6. Eat and enjoy!

I loved the extra sweetness that the pound cake gave over traditional angel food cake. It was a lot less sticky too! It was the perfect size for dessert for 1 and a great way to use up my leftover berries that were about to go bad in the fridge.
