Strawberry Cream Cheese Pound Cake Recipe
Ingredients
For this recipe you’ll need a few simple ingredients, including: all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, and pure vanilla extract. As far as the strawberries go, you can use either fresh or frozen, depending on what you have on hand. You’ll also need a 9”x5” loaf pan.
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly greasing the loaf pan with butter. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt with a whisk.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until the mixture is light and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add in the vanilla and mix until everything is fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until everything is just combined and there are no lumps. Slice the strawberries thinly and gently fold them into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is cool, you can glaze or decorate it with powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy!

If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, you can make a few simple substitutions. Try using natural cane sugar instead of granulated sugar and half the amount of cream cheese. You can also opt for a vegan butter substitute.
For an even healthier option, consider using whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour. You can also reduce the fat content by using egg whites instead of whole eggs.
This recipe is a great way to indulge your sweet tooth while still enjoying a healthier treat. Enjoy!
