• Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix until combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just barely combined.
• Pour into the prepared baking sheet and bake until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
• For the strawberries in sauce: Put the granulated sugar, cornstarch, gelatin and 1 1/2 cups water in a saucepan. Stir together and bring to a boil. Cook until starting to thicken, then remove from the heat. Put the strawberries in a bowl and pour over the sauce, gently tossing together. Set aside in the fridge and allow the mixture to thicken, stirring occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.
• For the sweet yogurt cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the yogurt, cream, granulated sugar and brown sugar on high until smooth and silky.
• Once the cake is cool, flip out onto a cutting board and remove the parchment. Cut the cake into 1.5-inch cubes.

• For the pound cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.

After the last egg, continue to beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Beat in the heavy cream and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat on low until just incorporated.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool the pound cake in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. (The pound cake can be made up to 2 days ahead; store at room temperature, well wrapped.)
• For the strawberries: Heat the strawberry preserves in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until just warm. Add the strawberries and 1/4 cup water, and bring to a simmer; simmer until the strawberries are just beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice. Add a little sugar to taste if desired. Cool completely. (The strawberries can be made up to 1 day ahead; refrigerate in an airtight container.)
• For the cream layer: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until very smooth and light. Add a little bit of the cream, and beat to loosen. Beat in the remaining cream, a little at a time, until the mixture just holds stiff peaks, stopping occasionally to scrape the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla.
• To assemble the trifle: Cut the pound cake into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Spoon a little more than a quarter of the cream into the bottom of a trifle bowl. Top with a third of the pound cake, followed by a third of the strawberries and their juices. Repeat the layers, starting with cream, then cake, then strawberries.
