Description

A moist and rich strawberry pound cake bursting with fresh strawberry flavor, perfect for dessert or teatime.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for coating strawberries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 23 tbsp strawberry puree (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Toss the chopped strawberries with 2 tbsp flour to prevent sinking and fold them into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. To make the glaze, mix powdered sugar with strawberry puree until smooth and pourable.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming.
  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to avoid toughness.
  • Use fresh or frozen strawberries, but thaw and drain if using frozen.
  • For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
