Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prep the baking pan: Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan (or line it with parchment paper).
  3. Cream the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy—about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Incorporate the eggs and vanilla: Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Sift the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  6. Mix dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk.
  7. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries with a spatula.
  8. Pour and smooth the batter: Transfer the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
  9. Bake to perfection: Bake for about 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  10. Cool it down: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool completely on a wire rack.
  11. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  12. Glaze your creation: Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cooled cake.
  13. Serve and enjoy: Slice and serve the strawberry pound cake with a cup of tea.
