Strawberry Pound Cake
This one right here is soft, buttery, and full of real strawberry flavor ๐ฎโ๐ฅ Not that artificial โhintโ either. I added freshly chopped strawberries in the batter and strawberry extract to really bring it to life.
And that pink strawberry icing on top? Yeahโฆ she did what needed to be done.
Pound Cake Batter:
Butter, sugar, eggs (classic base)
Vanilla extract + strawberry extract
Flour + a pinch of salt
Freshly chopped strawberries (lightly coated in flour so they donโt sink )
Fold the strawberries in gently so they stay intact and donโt bleed too much into the batter.
Bake:325ยฐF until golden and set (about 60โ75 mins depending on your pan).Let it cool completely before icing.
Strawberry Icing:
Powdered sugar
A little milk or heavy cream
Strawberry extract
Optional: a touch of pink coloring for that soft, pretty finish ๐
Drizzle over the cooled cake and let it set slightly.
Taste Notes: Buttery, moist, and packed with real strawberry bites throughout. The icing adds that extra sweetness and ties everything together without overpowering the cake.
Pro Tip: Donโt overmix once you add the strawberries; keep that crumb soft and tender.
This is one of those โslice gone before it fully coolsโ kind of cakes ๐ญ
Would you add glaze or leave it plain? ๐
