STRAWBERRY SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE
a recipe from Simply Sweet ColorCakes by Oxmoor House
(makes 12 servings)

Hands-On Time: 25 min.
Total Time: 2 hours, 35 min.

  • 1½ cups butter, softened
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅔ cup strawberry glaze
  • fresh strawberries and sifted powdered sugar for garnish

 

1.  Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease and flour a 10-inch  (14-cup) tube pan.  Beat butter at medium speed with  a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy.  Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.  Add cream cheese, beating until creamy.  Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.

2.  Gradually add flour to butter mixture.  Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape bowl as needed.  Stir in almond and vanilla extracts.  Pour one-third of batter into prepared pan.  Dollop 8 rounded teaspoonfuls strawberry glaze over batter, and swirl with wooden skewer.  Repeat procedure once, and top with remaining third of batter.

3.  Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).

NOTE: We tested with Marzetti Glaze for Strawberries.

    Sounds delicious. Just a couple of questions. Will this recipe work for cupcakes? Will the absence of a raising agent make for a heavier cake. Thank you and happy baking,

    Already passed the one hour and 10 minute mark, still soupy in the middle but brown around the edges. Not to mention when my husband tried to pull it out after the hour, he tipped it and the batter falls on the floor and the oven door. Not happy so far.

    The strawberry glaze pockets in the pound cake are a great touch. Pound cake, strawberry glaze and cream cheese is a crowdpleaser. Deliscious post Carrie!

    Can’t wait to try this. Where in the grocery store would I find Marzetti Strawberry Glaze? Thank you.

    It was delicate and moisture. My friends loved the cake. I used a 10 cup size burnt tube pan and two individual cake pans. I baked the burnt cake for 65 minutes and the smaller cakes for 30 minutes. Thanks.
