Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

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.

Notes

Storage: Store covered tightly with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Make ahead: Prep the macerated strawberries and whipped cream up to a day in advance. The pound cake can be cubed and kept at room temperature at room temperature.
