Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Cut the pound cake into approximately 1-inch cubes to ensure even and easy skewering. Wash and hull the fresh strawberries carefully, removing the green tops.
  2. Assemble the kabobs: Alternately thread the pound cake cubes and hulled strawberries onto skewers, starting and ending with a piece of cake to hold the fruit securely.
  3. Serve: Arrange the kabobs on a serving platter and offer the whipped cream on the side for dipping or topping each kabob. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and juiciness.
  • For a fun twist, you can use flavored whipped cream or add a drizzle of chocolate or strawberry sauce.
  • To make ahead, prepare the kabobs but add whipped cream just before serving to maintain its texture.
  • Wooden or bamboo skewers work best and can be soaked briefly in water to prevent burning if grilling is desired.
