New Fresh Strawberry Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For The Cake
- 1 pint fresh strawberries (this is for glaze below as well)
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large Simply Nature Grade A Organic Cage Free Brown Eggs
room temperature - 3 cups all-purpose flour sifted
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp strawberry extract optional
- 1/2 tsp red food coloring optional
For The Glaze
- 2 tbsp strawberry puree reserved from cake
- 2 cups Baker’s Corner Powdered Sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp pure lemon juice or lime juice
Instructions
For The Cake
- Remove the stems and wash strawberries thoroughly. Next add
strawberries to food processor or heavy duty blender and puree until smooth.
Remove 2 tablespoons of puree and set aside for glaze later on. - Then add strawberry puree to a small pot over medium heat
and reduce the puree for 15-20 minutes or until you have ½ cup left. It should
be pretty thick. Cool puree down to room temperature and set aside. - Next preheat oven to 325 degrees and prepare a 12 cup Bundt
pan with nonstick method of your choosing. - In your mixer bowl, add butter and beat for 2 minutes on
high speed. Slowly add in sugar and beat on high speed for an additional 4
minutes until very pale yellow and fluffy, might be a bit crumbly. - Next, add eggs, one at a time, combining well after each
addition and scraping down the sides of your bowl as needed. - Turn your mixer down to its lowest speed, and slowly add
flour in two increments, then add salt and baking soda. Be careful not to
overbeat. - Lastly, add buttermilk, the cooled strawberry puree, vanilla
and strawberry extracts (and red food coloring if desired) and mix until just
combined then stop. - Pour cake batter into the Bundt pan and bake for 70 to 80
minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out
clean. - Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes then invert cake
on serving plate.
For The Glaze
- Once cake has cooled to room temperature, whisk together 2
tablespoons of the strawberry puree, powdered sugar, vanilla and lemon or lime
juice until smooth and thick, but pourable. - Use your spoon to test this by seeing how it runs down the
side of the spoon. If too thin, adjust with powdered sugar and if too thick,
add a bit more juice until consistency is perfect. Glaze top of cooled cake and
let set for 10 minutes then serve.
