Pound Cake:
1 1/2cups unsalted butter (softened)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
3cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2cup sour cream
1 1/2cups chopped fresh strawberries (tossed with 1 tablespoon flour)
Glaze (optional):
1cup powdered sugar
2–3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
Cream butter and cream cheese: In a large bowl, cream the butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy.
Add sugar and eggs: Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream.
Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in strawberries tossed with flour. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake.
Make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over cooled cake if desired.
Notes
Make sure strawberries are dry before folding in to prevent excess moisture.
Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
This cake stores well at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
