Ingredients

Scale

For the pound cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

For the strawberry icing:

  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, lining it with parchment paper if desired.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk flour and baking powder. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture alternately with milk.
  4. Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55–65 minutes. Let cool before icing.
  5. Make the icing: Whisk together strawberries, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over cooled cake.

Notes

  • For a more intense strawberry flavor, blend the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder using a food processor.
  • This icing works well on cupcakes or sugar cookies.
  • Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
