STRAWBERRY SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

Strawberry Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake image

This recipe caught my eye in the latest issue of Southern Living and I immediately had to try it. Wonderfully delicious! My notes: although the instructions stated to bake the cake for 1 hour 10 minutes, my cake had barely begun to rise by this time. I had a total bake time of 1 hour 35 minutes before the cake tested done.

(STRAWBERRY, MAYBE) SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

(Strawberry, maybe) Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake image

This cake, minus the swirl, was brought to work by a co-worker, (thank you Linda B) who is an excellent cook. It can be a diet buster, one bite and you are hooked. Also works great for wedding cakes if you use layer pans instead of a bundt or tube pan.

Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
