Greek Yogurt Strawberry Jam Pound Cake

Greek Yogurt Strawberry Jam Pound Cake is fluffy and moist. Smothered with white chocolate ganache this cake is h-e-a-v-e-n!!

I’m continuing my epic pound cake series with this cake. It’s the perfect, fun cake that kids and adults will both enjoy. It’s sure to be the most popular dessert at your potlucks and parties. This is a very different pound cake from the others that I’ve tested.

With that being said, it’s very good. This cake has a light texture and a small crumb. Even though it has strawberry jam in the cake, strawberry is not a prominent flavor. It really has more of a classic vanilla flavor.

Greek Yogurt Strawberry Jam Pound Cake Tips

1. Always have your butter and eggs at room temperature.
2. Use good quality ingredients, no generic brands for baking.
3. When a recipe calls for eggs, use large eggs unless specified in the recipe
4. Read all about different flours here.
5. Measuring flour correctly makes a huge difference when baking. Read the correct way to measure flour here.
6. A good secret tip if the top of your bundt cake breaks or sticks to your pan, top with a thick ganache to cover it up. This cake didn’t stick, but I have had plenty that did. No one has to know!

I wrote a very detailed post on How to Bake the Perfect Pound Cake. I recommend you hop over and read it.

As well, I recommend calibrating your oven once a year. Read How to Calibrate your Oven here.
