Ingredients

Strawberry-Kiwi Sauce:

  • 4 kiwis peeled and sliced
  • 1 pint strawberries rinsed and sliced
  • 3 tbsp. sugar

Lemon Pound Cake:

  • 1 1/2 c. cake flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. unsalted butter
  • 1 1/4 c. sugar
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lemon zest
  • 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp. lemon extract

Instructions

For sauce:

  • In a large bowl, combine fruit and sugar. Toss to mix with the sugar. Set aside to macerate.

For cake:

  • Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, combine cake flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until blended.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest.
  • Add lemon juice, eggs, and extracts, beating until well-blended.
  • With the mixer running on low, add the melted butter in a slow and steady stream.
  • Add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, and beat until just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and level with a rubber spatula.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees, and continue baking for about 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To serve, slice cake into 8 pieces, and top with Strawberry-Kiwi Sauce.
