Hey everyone! Serene from House of Yumm back with you today to share this delightful Strawberry Pound Cake.

Can you Make a Pound Cake Without Butter?

Yes you can! Traditionally a pound cake it named this because it’s made with a pound of four ingredients: flour, butter, sugar and eggs. This pound cake is made without the BUTTER though! Making it somewhat lighter. Instead we’re going to use greek yogurt and a little bit of oil to keep the bread tender and moist.

How Do You Add Fruit to Pound Cake?

Adding fruit to pound cake is really easy! We’re adding strawberries to this particular pound cake. To have the strawberry pound cake still turn out you need to make sure you’re cutting the strawberries up. Not too small, but not too large either. I find that cutting the strawberries into 8ths is usually a perfect size. We also only want to use a cup of berries. Adding too many berries to this particular recipe will result in the pound cake not being able to hold itself together due to the amount of berries. A small sprinkling of flour on the berries before adding them to the batter helps to keep the berries from sinking while baking. This ensures that that there will be berries throughout the cake. If you’re really into fruit pound cakes, I also have this Blueberry Lemon Pound Cake that is amazingly flavorful as well. You can also add lemon to this bread to create a Strawberry Lemon Pound Cake.
