Pound Cake with Limoncello Zabaglione
- 2 cups mixed berries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
- 2 teaspoons limoncello
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 egg yolks
- 3 tablespoons limoncello
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (1/2 lemon)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (1/4 lemon)
- Half 10 3/4-ounce pound cake
- For the berries: Mix together the berries, lemon juice, limoncello and sugar in a medium bowl.
- Crush the berries gently, using the back of a fork.
- Set aside for at least 30 minutes to let the juices develop and the flavors mingle.
- For the limoncello zabaglione: Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- In a heat-proof medium bowl that fits comfortably over the saucepan without touching the water, combine the egg yolks, limoncello, sugar, lemon zest and lemon juice.
- Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed until smooth and incorporated.
- Place the bowl over the simmering water and continue beating until a thick ribbon remains in the mixture when the beaters are lifted out, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the bowl from the saucepan and continue to beat for another 2 minutes to prevent the egg from cooking.
- Cool to room temperature.
- To serve, place a 3/4-inch-thick slice of pound cake on a plate.
- Top with a spoonful of the berries and a dollop of the zabaglione.
