Easy & Elegant Strawberry Shortcake image

I love strawberry shortcake but sometimes you don't want to bake homemade sweet biscuits or have all the fat of whipping cream!! I created this quick strawberry shortcake with a yummy store-bought pound cake and I sweetened and flavored some Greek yogurt for the topping! Easy and good!
