Description

Strawberry pound cake has quickly become one of my favorite go-to desserts. It’s the kind of cake that feels classic and familiar, but with the brightness of fresh strawberries, it becomes something truly special


Ingredients

For the Pound Cake
1½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1½ teaspoons almond extract
½ cup vegetable oil
1 cup diced strawberries (about 1¼ cup whole)

For the Glaze
½ cup mashed strawberries (about 1 cup whole strawberries)
2 cups powdered sugar


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 or 9-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, almond extract, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5: Fold in the Strawberries
Gently fold in the diced strawberries using a spatula. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy—that’s perfect.

Step 6: Bake the Cake
Spoon the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top and bake for about 50 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Glaze
While the cake is cooling, mash about 1 cup of strawberries until smooth. Measure out ½ cup of puree and combine with the powdered sugar in a medium bowl.

Whisk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more sugar or lemon juice, if needed.

Step 8: Glaze the Cake
Once the cake is fully cooled, pour the glaze over the top. Let it set for 15–20 minutes before slicing and serving.
