Captain America's Sweet Shield Shortcakes | MomOnTimeout.com #Avengers #Disney #recipe

My boys are really into superheroes. Like, REALLY into superheros. I’m sure many of you moms with little boys can totally relate here 🙂  We have everything – masks, capes, toys, figures, and they still can’t get enough! Reece had an Avengers party for his last birthday and of course my boys were super heroes for Halloween!

We love creating recipes with a superhero theme and these Captain America cakes are just perfect! We made these for our last Avengers party and they were a huge hit. Of course Memorial Day is coming right up and these would be perfect for that as well! Totally easy to make and boy were they fun to eat!

I love having fresh fruit during the summer time. It’s the perfect way to enjoy something a little bit sweet!

Ingredients

  • 2 pound cakes I used Sara Lee
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • fresh strawberries sliced
  • fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Slice the pound cake into even slices. Use a circle cutter to cut out a circle from each slice.
  • Beat the heavy cream in a chilled bowl just until soft peaks form. Add in vanilla and sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks from.
  • Spread a layer of whipped cream on one pound cake and layer with blueberries and/or strawberries. Add another slice of pound cake and repeat.
  • Use the blueberries and strawberries to create a design on top if you desire.

    I’d give it to my daughter, she has loved and had club penguin memberships off and on for a few years, right now she likes to take my 2 year old nephew on there to show him the penguins. 🙂 Our favorite is Thor and Captain America.
