Strawberry Lemonade Pound Cake

Spring has pretty much sprung here in the Pacific Northwest, and that has me craving STRAWBERRIES and all kinds of summery flavors that I’ve been missing this winter. I can’t even believe how awesome our winter has been, and I’m so sorry for those of you currently buried in snow and cold. I hope spring hurries up and get to you where ever you are.

Strawberry Buttermilk Pound Cake-1

I had a busy week last week. All FOUR of my boys are starting baseball. That’s four boys, on three different teams, that all will be practicing on three different fields. I have a feeling there’s going to be no rest for the weary until baseball season ends…and it just started. I’m so excited to see them playing though! This is our first foray into any kind of sports for them.

This Strawberry Lemonade Pound Cake is awesome all on its own, or you can top it with some whipped cream and call it good. Call it great, actually, because I really dug it.

Make sure you cream your butter and sugar well. It should be light and fluffy and that can take a while, even in a stand mixer.

Also – gently fold in the berries at the very end. This batter is thick enough so that they all won’t sink to the bottom when you bake it, but you still need to be gentle with it.

Strawberry Buttermilk Pound Cake-3

Bake until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, and let cool for 10 minutes before turning out of the pan.

Strawberry Buttermilk Pound Cake-4

Serve this with whipped cream.

Is there a sub for the buttermilk powder?

You could omit the buttermilk powder and use real buttermilk in place of the whole milk I think. I haven't tested this, however, so I'm not totally sure!

Yummy! This pound cake looks scrumptious! I'm so excited berries are here too...how do we go so many months without them!? I even found some organic ones that were sweet last week here in Los Angeles. Congrats on your Ambassadorship!

Thanks, Michaell! I don't know how I survive without berries. Lots of canned jam and Costco frozen varieties.
