Strawberry Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
- Baking spray with flour
- 1/2 cup (4 oz.) unsalted butter, softened
- 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups (about 6 3/8 oz.) all-purpose flour, sifted
- 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 3/4 cup mashed fresh strawberries (about 8 oz.), divided
- 1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Fresh strawberries, for garnish
- Prepare pan and oven: Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with baking spray with flour. Line pan with parchment paper; coat parchment with baking spray with flour.
- Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar: Beat butter in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add cream cheese, and beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute, stopping to scrape sides of bowl as needed. Add sugar, and beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl as needed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Finish batter: Stir together sifted flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. With mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture alternately with 1/2 cup of the mashed strawberries, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Stir in lemon zest. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake pound cake: Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove cake from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
- Make strawberry glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar and remaining 1/4 cup mashed strawberries until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries.
