🍽️ How to Make Strawberry Crunch Pound Cake
1. Prep the Strawberries
Toss sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar and set aside. This helps them release their juices and become beautifully sweet.
2. Make the Pound Cake Batter
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add flour mixture alternating with milk, mixing just until combined.
3. Assemble the Cake
Pour half of the batter into a greased loaf pan. Spoon half of the sugared strawberries evenly over the batter.
Add the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out gently.
4. Prepare the Crunchy Topping
Mix nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this generously over the cake batter.
5. Bake
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The topping should be golden and crunchy.
