Provided by Sally

Categories     Dessert

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 Tablespoon cornstarch
3 Tablespoons (45ml) warm water
1 lb strawberries, hulled and sliced in half (you can use frozen; don't thaw)
zest and juice from 1/2 small lemon (see note)*
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.)
  • Place the cornstarch mixture, along with the rest of the ingredients, into a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture as it cooks. Break up some of the strawberries as you stir.
  • Bring it to a simmer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. After 5 minutes, remove pan from the heat and allow to cool. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
  • You can serve the sauce warm before it cools completely if desired, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Strawberry topping will be thick after refrigeration, so microwave for 15 seconds or warm on the stove to thin out, if desired.

POUNDCAKE AND STRAWBERRIES



Poundcake and Strawberries image

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.

1 pound granulated sugar (2 cups)
8 large eggs
1 pound all-purpose flour (4 cups), plus extra for flouring the cake pan
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Zest of 1 large lemon
