- 3 c all purpose flour- sifted
- 3 c granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs- room temperature
- 1 c unsalted butter - room temperature
- ½ c sour cream - room temperature
- 1 teaspoon strawberry extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 pound strawberries
- ½ tsp red food coloring
- To make the strawberry glaze:
- 2 c powdered sugar
- ¼ c strawberry puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions
- To make the Pound Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
- First, remove the stems from your strawberries and rinse the strawberries.
- Then add the strawberries to a food processor and puree them. Reserve ¼ c of the puree for the glaze.
- Next, add the strawberry puree to a pot/pan and cook over medium heat until it thickens (approximately 15-20 minutes), stirring periodically. Allow the puree to cool down to room temperature and set it aside.
- Using a hand or a stand mixer, add the butter to your bowl and beat for two minutes on low speed.
- Slowly add in the sugar and beat on low speed until light and fluffy (approximately 5 minutes).
- Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing until combined after each addition. Scrape down the sides of your bowl.
- Then add the strawberry extract and mix.
- Add the baking powder and salt to the flour mixture and mix.
- Add the flour to the batter alternating with the sour cream and strawberry puree beginning and ending with the flour.
- Pour the batter into a 12-cup greased bundt pan and bake for an hour and 15 minutes. The cake is done when the toothpick comes out clean/with moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze.
- To make the glaze:
- Add the powdered sugar to a large bowl. Mix in the vanilla, milk, and strawberry puree until smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the cake as desired. Allow the glaze to set prior to serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
