Instructions
Creating your Strawberry Pound Cake is a straightforward process when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 10-inch bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.
6. Prepare the Strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
7. Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven. Allow it to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Finishing Touch: Before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar for a touch of elegance.
