STRAWBERRY SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
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
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.

Tips:
- Prep Properly: Before you start baking, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps them blend smoothly and evenly, resulting in a better texture and flavor.
- Cream Cheese Handling: To soften cream cheese effectively, unwrap it and let it sit at room temperature for about an hour. Do not microwave it, as this can cause it to become grainy.
- Mixing: Avoid overmixing the batter. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Baking Pan: Use a 10-inch bundt pan for optimal results. Grease and flour the pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Strawberry Swirl: To create the strawberry swirl, combine chopped strawberries with sugar and cornstarch. Ensure the mixture is thick enough to form a ribbon when drizzled into the batter.
- Oven Temperature: Preheat the oven to the specified temperature before placing the cake in. Accurate oven temperature is crucial for proper baking.
- Cooling: After baking, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a serving plate. This helps prevent the cake from breaking.
