I LOVE pound cake, and it was the first baking disaster I had after we moved to high altitude, so it has a special place in my heart when it works like it’s supposed to 😉 I love the addition of the strawberries!
A gorgeous and luscious pound cake-even better with fresh strawberries. So perfect for berry baking season!

Pound cake has been one of my favorite treats since I was a kid, but I’ve never tried it with strawberries. I need to fix that, pronto, because this sounds amazing!
