Directions

1

Cut pound cake lengthwise into 2 layers, and arrange side by side in 8-inch square cake pan (cut sides up). In saucepan, soften gelatin in water; dissolve over low heat. Set aside. Prepare pudding following package directions except reduce milk to 1 3/4 cups. Beat in dissolved gelatin and lemon juice. Let set 5 minutes. Add egg white. Beat on highest electric mixer speed 5 minutes. Fold berries into mixture. Pour over cake. Chill until firm enough to cut - at least 1 hour. To serve: cut into squares. Top with a puff of whipped light cream and a whole strawberry. Substitute: 1 package (1 pound) frozen whole-unsweetened strawberries for fresh strawberries. Thaw just enough to slice. Drain in colander, reserving liquid for other uses. Then fold into mixture, as directed above. Yield: 9 squares.
