A delicious and moist Strawberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake topped with a sweet strawberry cream cheese glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (to coat strawberries)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened (for glaze)
- 1½ cups powdered sugar (for glaze)
- ¼ cup fresh strawberry puree (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream (for glaze)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and generously grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan (5 minutes).
- In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (3–4 minutes).
- Gradually add sugar and continue beating until light and creamy (2–3 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract (3 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, then add to the batter on low speed just until combined (2 minutes).
- Toss chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour and gently fold them into the batter (1–2 minutes).
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top (1 minute).
- Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean (65–75 minutes).
- Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely (30 minutes).
- For the glaze, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar, strawberry puree, vanilla, and milk until thick and glossy (5 minutes).
- Drizzle glaze generously over the fully cooled cake, letting it drip naturally down the sides (2 minutes).
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are well chopped for even distribution in the batter.
- This cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra strawberry flavor, add more puree to the glaze.
