Ingredients
Pound Cake
- 3.125 cups all-purpose flour (3 cups plus 2 tablespoons, divided)
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 6 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh strawberries quartered
Strawberry Glaze
- 0.25 cup pureed strawberries (about 6-7 strawberries)
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- fresh strawberries for topping, sliced (optional)
Instructions
Pound Cake Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and flour a bundt pan. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of flour, baking soda, and salt to remove lumps. Set aside.
- With an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in sour cream and beat until combined. Alternate adding flour mixture and eggs; beat until just combined. Quickly beat in vanilla extract.
- In a bowl, toss together the 2 cups of quartered strawberries and the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan and bake in preheated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes or until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in bundt pan for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Strawberry Glaze & Serving
- Take 6-7 strawberries and puree them in a blender. You should end up with ¼ cup of liquid; if you don’t, add a couple more strawberries. Mix the strawberry puree and the powdered sugar together until well combined.
- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze on top of the cake. Top with fresh sliced strawberries if desired.
Notes
For best results, ensure all cold ingredients like butter and eggs are at room temperature. This will help create a smooth, well-combined batter and a perfectly moist cake.
