STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE POUNDCAKE

By á-30256

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound butter, softened (1 1/2 cups)
• 1/2 pound cream cheese, softened
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons butter flavoring
• 6 eggs, room temperature
• 3 cups sifted flour
• 1 pint strawberries, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Cream the cheese, butter, and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add a pinch of salt and the butter flavoring, and beat the mixture well.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the flour. Gradually add the sliced strawberries, gently folding them in after each addition.

Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured cake pan. (Use loaf pans or those nice little mini-loaf sizes for gift-giving)

Bake the cake in a preheated 325ºF oven for one-and-a-half hours, until the cake begins to shrink from the sides of the pan. Place the pans on cooling racks until cooled; turn cakes gently onto wire racks.
