How do I make Strawberry Pound Cake From Starch?

Summer is my favorite time of the year, as it is so rich in flavorful berries and fruits. I just adore exploring the nearest local farmer market and grabbing doses of vitamins. This weekend I pay attention to fresh and aromatic strawberries. So, now you can enjoy with me this excellent strawberry pound cake. Although it looks fancy, it is made in minutes. Watch the video below.

Let’s start baking! Preheat the oven to 350°F.

First, we have to whip the eggs whites. Start beating at low-speed whites in a clean, grease-free bowl. Once it transforms into loose foam, increase the speed of your mixer. Whisk until you get firm peaks. Set aside.

Once combined, add the vanilla extract. Right at the end, gently fold in whipped whites. Pour the cake mixture into the greased springform pan.

Wash the strawberries and slice them. I have used about 7 oz of fresh strawberries. Arrange strawberry slices on the top of the cake. If you desire, you can add more. You can leave some strawberries on the surface and others slightly sunk into the batter.

Strawberry Pound CakeBake in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes. The strawberry pound cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Once done, allow the cake to sit in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before removing it onto a wire rack to further cool.

How to serve Strawberry Pound Cake?

I just adore pound cakes warm. This one is deliciously served warm paired with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Some whipped cream or strawberry glaze will work great too. Actually, the possibilities for the topping are endless.
