Frozen Strawberry-Banana Cake with Strawberry Sauce Recipe

  • 1 12-ounce pound cake
  • 1 cup strawberry preserves
  • 1/4 cup strawberry liqueur or orange juice
  • 2 pints strawberry sorbet, softened
  • 2 pints banana-strawberry frozen yogurt, softened
  • 1 10-ounce package frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, thawed
  • 3 large ripe bananas, peeled, cut diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices
  • Sliced fresh strawberries
  1. Cut cake into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange enough slices in bottom of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 3/4-inch-high sides to just cover bottom, fitting tightly. Cook preserves and liqueur in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until reduced to 2/3 cup, stirring frequently, about 14 minutes. Spread half of preserves mixture over cake in pan. Freeze 10 minutes. Spoon sorbet over cake in pan; smooth top. Arrange more cake slices over to just cover sorbet. Spread remaining preserves mixture over cake. Freeze 10 minutes.
  2. Spoon frozen yogurt over cake; smooth top. Cover and freeze overnight. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead.)
  3. Puree thawed berries in processor. Cover and refrigerate until cold. (Sauce can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
  4. Release pan sides from cake. Place banana slices around cake edge. Mound berries in center. Serve cake with sauce.
