Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained well

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a pound cake pan thoroughly. Chop fresh strawberries and drain the crushed pineapple well to prevent excess moisture from affecting the texture.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process helps create a tender crumb in the cake.
  3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the depth of flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently and avoiding over-mixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Fold in Strawberries and Pineapple: Carefully fold in the chopped strawberries and drained crushed pineapple, distributing them evenly without breaking them down too much.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 to 70 minutes depending on your oven.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs for better mixing and a smoother batter.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to maintain the pound cake’s tender texture.
  • Drain the pineapple well to avoid sogginess.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick before removing the cake from the oven.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
