If you are a fan of strawberries, cake and over all deliciousness then you need to whip up this Strawberry Pound Cake! Easy, tasty and addicting.

Strawberries are one of my favorite things to bake with of all time. They are one of those fruits that you can pretty much buy at your grocer all year long.

I’m not opposed to baking with strawberries during the winter or fall, I don’t believe that this has to be one of those seasonal recipes.

But since it is spring and the fruit baking has begun, I had to share my favorite Strawberry Pound Cake recipe with you guys!

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:

Using fresh strawberries and jello combined really enhances the flavor.
This can also be made in a sheet pan and topped with frosting.
This is really easy to whip up and the glaze really enhances the strawberry flavor.

Some of my favorite recipes that we regularly make with strawberries include Strawberry Ricotta Cake, Homemade Strawberry Cake and these Strawberry Margaritas.

Let’s just say that we are a little bit strawberry addicted around this joint, but thats ok they are delicious and easy to bake with for sure.

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY POUND CAKE, STEP BY STEP:

In stand mixer beat your butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add in your eggs, one at a time mixing well after each addition
Then add in your vanilla and beat again until it is combined.
In large bowl add your flour, jello and baking soda.
Whisk this mixture until it is combined really well and jello is spread out evenly among the flour.
Alternate adding your dry ingredients with your milk until everything is combined.
Lastly add in your strawberries and fold them in until distributed evenly through the batter.
Spoon into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 350 for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.
Meanwhile to make glaze whisk together 1 cup flour, 1 tsp strawberry extract (more if you like the flavor) and enough milk to get your desired drizzle. Then drizzle over cooled cake.

There really isn’t too much to this Strawberry Pound Cake, it’s all made in the stand mixer which we love, but if you don’t have one a hand mixer will do just fine.

For the longest time I never owed a stand mixer (literally up until maybe 2 years ago) and everything was either made by hand or with a hand mixer.

HOW DO YOU SERVE A POUND CAKE?

So with this Strawberry Pound Cake recipe we just like to glaze it with a strawberry powdered sugar glaze. But there are other ways that you can enjoy it as well.

You can top it with a strawberry sauce, ice cream, whipped cream, jam or preserves, etc. It really is personal preference and there is no right or wrong answer.

HOW TO STORE THIS CAKE:

You can leave this out on the counter for a few hours but if you are not going to eat the whole thing within that time period it does need to be refrigerated.

The fruit if left out will break down and become mushy, this will still happen over time in the refrigerator but not as quickly so it is best to be stored chilled.

This should last refrigerated for up to 3 days.

What I love best about this Strawberry Pound Cake is that it is SUPER MOIST.

Some cakes can really be dry after baking, this cake is not one of them. This is really a super moist cake but still holds it’s shape very well.

Also the glaze really gives it just a little more pop of flavor that brings that strawberry flavor up to the perfect amount in my opinion.

TIPS AND TRICKS:

Depending on the Jello brand that you use will determine the color of your cake, if you want you can add a few drops of pink or red food coloring.
If you want more punch of strawberry add 1 tsp vanilla extract and 1 tsp strawberry extract to bring that flavor up just a little bit.
You can use frozen strawberries, bake sure they are defrosted and drained but we prefer fresh.
The glaze is totally optional, it gives it a little more flavor, but if you plan on serving with other garnishes it is not necessary.

If you want the perfect moist and delicious cake this Strawberry Pound Cake is calling your name. It will be your new favorite dessert of the season.
