Instructions
Creating Delicious Homemade Strawberry Pound Cake is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Strawberries: In a bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with lemon juice and set aside. This will enhance their flavor.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure everything is well combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
6. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the prepared strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for a beautiful finish before slicing.
