FRESH STRAWBERRY POUND CAKE

If you follow me on Facebook, you know how much I like Strawberry Cake. You also know how much I enjoy making pound cakes. I’ve been wanting to make a Strawberry Pound Cake for a while for my pound cake series. And, now, here it is Real Fruit Strawberry Buttermilk Pound Cake.

It was important to me to flavor my Strawberry Pound Cake with real fruit. You can find several Strawberry Pound Cake recipes online that contain strawberry gelatin or strawberry kool-aid. Globally, gelatin and ‘kool-aid’ aren’t available. Plus, I wanted to use real ingredients. Taking a tip from Sally, I reduced and condensed fresh strawberries for my cake.

HOW TO MAKE FRESH STRAWBERRY POUND CAKE

Fresh Strawberry Pound Cake has a nice strawberry flavor within the cake itself. It’s not a plain cake with strawberry chunks. It’s wonderful!😍

Just like a traditional pound cake, my Real Fruit Strawberry Pound Cake is dense and luscious with a small crumb. As well, the outside has that wonderful crunchy crust that you just want to keep eating and eating.

However, while being like a traditional pound cake in those regards, this cake stands out because of the wonderful, fresh strawberry flavor. It has the perfect taste and texture.

Served warm with homemade whipped cream is out of this world! If you have a strawberry lover in your life, this is the cake to make for them.

  1. I use this 10-inch tube pan for this cake.
  2. This is my favorite mixer.
  3. You’ll find a ton of uses for this mini-food processor. Or, you can blend the strawberries in a blender.

WHAT ARE THE BEST TIPS FOR SUCCESS FOR FRESH STRAWBERRY POUND CAKE?

  1. First of all, use room temperature ingredients. Set the butter, eggs, and milk products on the counter 1 to 2 hours before mixing. This will allow for maximum volume in your cake.
  2. Next, measure your ingredients and arrange them in the order they will be added to the recipe. You’re less likely to skip a step or measure incorrectly if you’ll do it this way.
  3. Calibrate your oven. You can do everything else right, but if your oven is cooking at the temperature it shows on the dial, your cake will not cook correctly. Please read this post I wrote on How to Calibrate your Oven.
  4. As well, measure accurately. It is very important to measure your ingredients accurately. Maybe you think you have been measuring correctly but your cake still isn’t coming out correctly. Read this post, Twix Bars Sweet Rolls on How to Correctly Measure Flour.
  5. Finally, read this article for all my best tips on How to Bake the Perfect Pound Cake

    At the top it says to have butter at room temperature but the ingredients list does not list butter. Should it have butter or should that say buttermilk?
