This Strawberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake is a rich, moist dessert that combines the tangy flavor of cream cheese with the natural sweetness of fresh strawberries. It’s dense, buttery, and perfect for spring and summer occasions.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • Optional: powdered sugar or glaze for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the sugar and beat until light and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  7. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  8. Gently fold in the diced strawberries with a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 60–75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove it and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Toss strawberries in a little flour before folding into batter to prevent sinking.
  • Use full-fat block cream cheese for best results.
  • Store at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for up to 3 months; thaw overnight before serving.
  • Use mini loaf pans for individual portions, adjusting bake time as needed.
