The cake is really a lemon pound cake, using a whole vanilla pod and fresh strawberries, baked in a half bundt pan. It's topped with Vanilla-Bourbon Sauce and Strawberry-Vanilla Syrup, then garnished with fresh whole strawberries.
The whole process starts with butter, lemon sugar and caviar from a vanilla pod.
It ends with diced, fresh strawberries folded in...
The recipe should have baked in an 8 to 10-cup (regular) Bundt pan but I wanted to try out my new half-Bundt silicone pan. I got a cake, 2 cupcakes and a dozen "half" cupcakes (using a muffin-top pan). The non-stick silicone pan made unmolding the cake a breeze!
Here's a small "half" cupcake topped with Vanilla-Bourbon Sauce. See the lovely flecks of vanilla?

And, here's how it looks inside!
Happy Birthday, A-te J!
Until next year...
