- In a medium bowl, mix the strawberries, granulated sugar, and orange juice. Cover and chill for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the cream, powdered sugar, orange zest, and vanilla on medium-low speed until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium-high and continue whisking until medium peaks form, about 3 minutes. Careful not to overmix or else it will become thick and lumpy.
- To assemble the dessert, arrange cubed pound cake at the bottom of jars or glass containers. Top with a layer of strawberries. Next, layer the whipped cream. Repeat layers until the jars are filled.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving to allow the pound cake to soak up some of the strawberry liquid.
