Lemon and mint are two ingredients that shout summer to me. This twist on strawberry shortcake comes together like a charm and is great when you want to impress. —Nichole Jones, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Lemon-Mint Pound Cake with Strawberries Recipe

Prep: 45 min. Bake: 1 hour + cooling

Yield: 12 Servings

45 60 105

Ingredients

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
3/4 cup butter, softened
2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
3 eggs
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1 jar (10 ounces) lemon curd
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced

Directions

Place sugar and mint in a small food processor; cover and process until blended. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and 1-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 4-1/2 teaspoons reserved mint mixture. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour alternately with 1/4 cup cream. Stir in lemon juice and peel.
Pour into a greased and floured 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan. Bake at 325° for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat remaining cream until it begins to thicken. Add 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon mint mixture; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in lemon curd; set aside.
In another bowl, combine strawberries with remaining mint mixture and confectioners' sugar. Slice cake; serve with strawberry mixture and lemon cream. Yield: 12 servings.

Made this tonight, very good! I used the lemon curd as more of a spread rather than mixing it in with the whipped cream. It was very pretty and tasty.
