Pound Cake
- ½ cup butter softened
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder

Pound Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Add in the flour and baking powder, mixing on low speed just until the batter starts to come together. Pour in the milk and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the diced strawberries with a spatula.
Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top.
Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before removing.
Glaze
In a small bowl, mash the chopped strawberry with a fork. Add the powdered sugar, cream, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth. Pour the glaze over the cooled loaf. Slice and enjoy!
