It’s confession time Friday! Maybe I should make this a series around here…or maybe not because then I would continually embarrass myself every week. But anyways,  I have a love for pound cake. It’s my one true dessert love (right next to creme brulee). It’s the first treat I gravitate towards when it’s served at a party and one that I usually make once a year around Christmas. 

And I’m embarrassed to admit (hence the confession time) that I’ve never actually made my absolute favorite pound cake to share around here. Forgive me, ok? Good. 
 
Now that we’ve got that settled, I hope you love pound cake just as much as me, because I’ve whipped up this deliciously decadent Strawberry Pound Cake just for you. Filled with fresh strawberries, cream cheese, and a touch of vanilla, this pound cake is moist, flavorful, and bursting with strawberries. This cake contains just a few ingredients and is a breeze to whip up. And any dessert that involves minimal prep time and loads of flavor is a winner in my book!

Growing up, I used to love those frozen Sara Lee pound cakes that you can buy from the grocery store. Heck, I still love them! There’s just something about the spongy texture and vanilla hints that make me fall in love with this dessert. But, I didn’t know what true pound cake love was until I made my own. Years ago. And then kept making it every year.
 
This Strawberry Pound Cake is dense and jam-packed with strawberry swirls and a hint of vanilla. It’s definitely not waist-line friendly, so I’m not even going to sugar coat it (get it?), but the extra calories are definitely worth the indulgence. Trust me, guys.  You’ll be hooked at the moist texture and rich flavors.
 
And did I mention that this Strawberry Pound Cake takes just minutes to prepare? To make this cake, I used Dutch Farms cream cheese, eggs, and butter, since their products are made from the finest ingredients. I then added in some sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla, and strawberries. Lots of strawberries, because ’tis the season!

After everything is mixed together, pour the mixture into a loaf pan or bunt pan and let the oven work its magic. This Strawberry Pound Cake takes a while to bake, so be patient. I’ve learned my lesson over the years on how to time this just right, so you may need to keep watch on this baby so it doesn’t burn towards the end.
 
One bite of this Strawberry Pound Cake and you’ll forget all about that little thing called chocolate. This cake bakes up moist, flavorful, with a buttery, crunchy crust. It’s the perfect combination to satisfy your taste buds for a decadent breakfast or late night dessert!

    • Sara Lee pound cakes are so good, Kelly! Glad I'm not the only one that likes frozen kind! :) Thanks for the kind words!

    • This pound cake is SO good, Rachelle! I had to send the rest of it to work with my husband because I would've devoured the entire loaf in a day!

      • I would test it at 1 hour, 10 minutes and if needed, go up to 1 hour, 30 min, as listed in the instructions. Every oven is different, so just depends on yours, which is why the time range is listed. Hope you like it!

  7. Love homemade pound cake (and store bought, too ) :)! This looks so good Gayle! Love the addition of fresh strawberries! Great pictures :)

  26. Shall I forgive you for not sharing this sooner? Hmmmm ... oh OK then! Better late than never! Looks soooo good, Gayle! I love the idea of all that cream cheese in there. Does it taste cheesecake-y at all? Sounds and looks delicious, in any case! :-)

    • Thanks, Helen! It actually doesn't take like a cheesecake at all. The cream cheese keeps it moist and the vanilla and strawberries give it such a great flavor!
