Description
A moist, buttery pound cake with a beautiful marbled swirl of strawberry jam, perfect for any occasion during strawberry season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drop spoonfuls of strawberry jam over the batter, then swirl gently with a knife or skewer. Pour the remaining batter over the top and repeat the swirling process to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a more intense strawberry flavor, use a thicker, concentrated jam. You can also stir chopped fresh strawberries into the batter before baking for added texture.
