Strawberry Pound Cake With Cream Cheese Drizzle

Step 1

Make strawberry puree and strain.

Step 2

Preheat oven to Grease and flour a 10" tube pan.

Step 3

Beat butter until creamy; add sugar beat until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla and strawberry extracts.

Step 4

Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Add the flour to butter mixture alternately with milk beginning and ending with flour mixture.

Step 6

Add strawberry Jell-o and strawberry puree. Beat lightly until combined. Gently stir in chopped strawberries.

Step 7

Pour into prepared tube pan.

Step 8

Bake at 325 for 1hr. 20 min. Check; may need another 10 minutes depending on your oven. Let sit in pan 20 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely before glazing.

Step 9

Glaze: Pour cream cheese frosting into a microwavable bowl. Microwave 1 minute. Stir in extract and Jell-o.

Step 10

Pour glaze over your cake. I added strawberry halves; you don't have to. I also think a little shredded coconut mixed through the cake would be nice if you like.
