How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Step 1: Preheat Oven & Prep Pan
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly.
Step 2: Cream Butter & Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Add Sugar & Eggs
Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
Step 5: Fold in Vanilla & Strawberries
Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
Step 6: Bake
Pour the batter into your prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
