Strawberry Pound Cake

(415 g) fresh strawberry, (hulled and finely chopped)

(340 g) unsalted butter, (softened)

(350 g) granulated sugar

(375 g) all-purpose flour

(6 g) baking soda

(4 g) baking powder

(5 g) salt

(172 g) sour cream

(4 g) strawberry extract, (or replace with vanilla extract)

(4 g) vanilla extract

(8-12 g) red food coloring

(4 g) lemon

½ cup (187 g) powdered sugar

Add strawberries to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

Pour into a medium saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. As soon as it boils, reduce heat and simmer until the moisture evaporates from the strawberries. It should reduce by half. Reserve 2-3 tablespoons of strawberry puree for making the glaze. Let it cool completely while you make the batter for the cake.

Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C. Grease a tube pan generously with cooking spray and set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugar at high speed in a stand mixer until it’s fluffy and starts to look white, about 5-7 minutes.

Stir in the eggs, a little at a time, beating the mixture well between each addition.

Mix in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the batter.

Follow with sour cream, strawberry extract, and vanilla extract. Stir well until everything is fully combined. DO NOT over mix.

Fold in the pureed strawberries and 2-3 teaspoons of food coloring into the cake batter until completely mixed in. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.

Pour batter into a greased cake pan. Tap pans on the work surface to eliminate any large air bubbles.

Bake at 300°F/150°C until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes or more.

Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool before glazing.

In a medium bowl, add remaining pureed strawberries, lemon or strawberry extract, and powdered sugar, whisk together until smooth, adjust glaze consistency with more powdered sugar or milk.

Pour glaze over cake and serve immediately or let it cool before slicing. Enjoy!

This fresh strawberry pound cake will take your taste buds down to strawberry fields. It's tender, moist, and drizzled with a dreamy strawberry glaze.

(2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

sugar

all-purpose flour

baking powder

baking soda

salt

sour cream

vanilla extract

strawberries,

lemon,

strawberry puree (blend fresh strawberries until smooth)

milk or water, as needed for consistency

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175°Celsius). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or two loaf pans.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients to the butter mixture with the sour cream, milk, and vanilla, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

Gently fold the diced strawberries and lemon zest (if using) into the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s). Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top of the cake is browning too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla extract, and enough milk or water to achieve a pourable consistency.

Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the strawberry glaze over the top. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.

Enjoy the strawberry pound cake as is, or serve with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for an extra special treat.

Strawberry Jam Pound Cake

strawberries

strawberry jam (I use seedless)

unsalted butter, room temperature

vegetable shortening

strawberry extract

lemon extract

red food coloring (optional)

strawberry puree (from above instructions)

Wash and hull the strawberries.  Use a food processor or blender to puree them until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of the puree for the cake, then set the rest aside for use in the glaze.

Use a microwave to melt the strawberry jam until it is liquid. Start with about 30 seconds and add additional time to get it melted.  Set aside to cool slightly.

Do NOT preheat the oven.  Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. (You can also use nonstick baking spray with flour if you have a pan you trust.) Set aside.

Use a mixer to cream the butter, shortening, and sugar together for 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again.

Measure the flour by spooning the flour into a dry-measure measuring cup and leveling off.

Add 1 cup of the flour and mix well.  Add 1/2 of the strawberry pureee and mix well.  Add another cup of the flour and mix well. Add the other 1/2 of the strawberry puree and mix well.  Finally add the last cup of flour and mix well.

Add the vanilla, strawberry, and lemon extracts to the melted strawberry jam and stir to combine.  Add the mixture to the cake batter and mix well. Add the salt and mix well.  If desired, add some red food coloring to turn the batter pink.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.  Place into a cold oven and turn the oven to 325°F.  Bake for 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake just starts to pull away from the edges of the pan. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before placing a plate or serving platter over the cake and inverting it onto the platter.  Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze.

Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree in a small bowl.  It might seem like it won&#x27;t combine, but keep stirring!  Once combined, drizzle over the cooled cake.

Deliciously moist and buttery, this is my award winning vanilla pound cake laced with fresh strawberries and topped with a fresh strawberry glaze. Makes 2 loaves!

Strawberry Glaze:

Moist and delicious! I am an icing nut, but this pound cake was so good I didn’t even need it!! I also used an sugar substitute and it was still incredible!

Love the flavor of the cake. I baked in loaf pans for 60 min. Tested done with toothpick. But while the top half was done the bottom was undercooked and dense. Will definitely try again and cook longer.

Thank you for this recipe. My friends and family LOVED it.

This was absolutely delicious.  I made the mistake of just spraying my pan with Pam instead of greasing and flouring the pan.  My bad!  The bottom of the cake stuck to the bottom of the pan.  I put it back together and glazed it anyway!  Will definitely make this again.  YUM!!

Made it yesterday! Directions were perfect and it was delicious! Loved that it made two loaves and I could share one with a neighbor. This recipe is going into my book. It’s a keeper!

Wonderful even without the glaze … save a few calories!!!
