Rich, buttery pound cake gets a dreamy makeover with the nostalgic flavors of a strawberry milkshake in this indulgent dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup strawberry milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup strawberry preserves
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter, then dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  2. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Whisk together the strawberry milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl until smooth.
  5. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in another bowl.
  6. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and wet mixture to the creamed butter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.
  7. Fold in the strawberry preserves and chopped fresh strawberries gently with a rubber spatula.
  8. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-70 minutes, checking with a toothpick inserted in the center.

Notes

  • Room temperature matters: Bring butter, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature 2-3 hours ahead.
  • Don’t skip the sifting: Sifting flour prevents lumps and creates the tender crumb.
  • Drain strawberries thoroughly: Pat fresh strawberries completely dry after chopping.
  • Test doneness carefully: Check at 60 minutes; the toothpick should have a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool properly first: Letting the cake rest in the pan for exactly 15 minutes prevents cracking.
  • Save strawberry juice: Reserve the juice when draining fresh berries for glaze.
