Note

For best results, assemble the cake a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the whipped topping to firm up slightly.

Ensure the pound cake is fully thawed before slicing to prevent crumbling.

This dessert is not vegan as it contains dairy-based whipped topping and pound cake. For a vegan version, substitute with a vegan pound cake and coconut-based whipped topping.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cake may become soggy if stored longer.
