Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries, hulled
- 12 ounces pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup whipped cream, for serving
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 8 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Rinse and hull the strawberries carefully to remove the green tops and moisture, then pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent sogginess.
- Cube Pound Cake: Cut the pound cake into 1-inch cubes ensuring they are uniform for easy skewering and even presentation.
- Assemble Kabobs: Thread one strawberry followed by one pound cake cube alternately onto each wooden skewer, filling each skewer completely.
- Arrange Kabobs: Place the finished kabobs neatly on a serving platter, ready for drizzling and serving.
- Drizzle Honey: Evenly drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey over the arranged kabobs to add natural sweetness and shine.
- Serve with Whipped Cream: Serve the kabobs alongside the whipped cream to allow guests to add as much creamy topping as they desire.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- For a vegan option, substitute whipped cream with a plant-based alternative and use a vegan-friendly cake.
- Wooden skewers can be soaked in water for 10 minutes before assembling to prevent burning if grilling is desired as an alternative serving option.
- These kabobs are best served immediately to maintain the cake’s texture and strawberry freshness.
