Strawberry Cheesecake Pound Cake
Strawberry Cheesecake Pound Cake is a delicious dessert that combines two favorite treats: pound cake and cheesecake, with the sweetness of fresh strawberries and the rich flavor of cream cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup cream cheese softened

- 1/4 cup milk
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Mix in the chopped strawberries. Spread this mixture over the batter in the pan.
- Pour the remaining batter over the cream cheese layer, smoothing the top.
