Enjoy a slice of Sweet Strawberry Pound Cake, capturing the nostalgic flavor of strawberry milkshakes in a moist and tender dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Softened Butter (Use unsalted for better control over saltiness)
- 2 cups Granulated Sugar
- 4 large Eggs (Provide moisture and binding)
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract (Can substitute with almond extract)
- 1 teaspoon Almond Extract (Can be omitted or replaced with more vanilla)
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder (Leavens the cake)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Balances sweetness)
- 1 cup Whole Milk (Consider dairy-free alternative if needed)
- 2 cups Fresh Strawberries (Diced, can use frozen if thawed and drained)
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar (Adjust for sweetness preference)
- 1/4 cup Strawberry Milk (Can use flavored syrup or milk alternative)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and almond extracts.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately mix the dry ingredients and whole milk into the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour.
- Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cooling, mix powdered sugar with strawberry milk until smooth for the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
