STRAWBERRY SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE RECIPE



Strawberry Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe image

This reader recipe is not only a moist, crowd-pleasing pound cake - it's also got a beautifully swirled presentation. Pound cakes are a classic Southern dessert that find their way onto tables of all occasions. A thick slice is the perfect way to welcome new neighbors, cheer up a friend, or feed a crowd at the church potluck, and you won't need to worry about frosting cake layers or transporting a delicate dessert. In this recipe, the cream cheese is added after beating the butter and sugar, and the cake bakes at a slightly higher temperature than usual. Fresh strawberries and whipping cream are a bright, colorful garnish for this pound cake. For the strawberry swirl, we used pre-made strawberry glaze for convenience. Dollop the glaze in layers throughout the pound cake batter to achieve this marbled look, and watch guests swoon as you cut into the cake.

(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.

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.

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to ensure that the cake is tender and moist.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake, or the cake will be dry.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
