Description
A decadent and moist pound cake that combines the rich, creamy texture of cheesecake with the sweet flavor of strawberries. This strawberry cheesecake pound cake is the perfect dessert or a special treat for any occasion!
Ingredients
1 box yellow cake mix
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup strawberries, chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix, cream cheese, butter, sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
- In a separate bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with flour. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking. Gently fold the floured strawberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve this rich and indulgent strawberry cheesecake pound cake!
Notes
For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk over the cooled cake.
Try using raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries instead of strawberries for a variation in flavor.
Add an extra 4 oz of cream cheese to the batter for a thicker, more cheesecake-style texture.
For a chocolate twist, fold in a handful of mini chocolate chips with the strawberries.
Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
