Strawberry Topped Pound Cake Recipe

1 3/4 cups
2 teaspoons
1/8 teaspoon
1 cup (2 sticks)
1 cup
4 large
2 teaspoons
Zest of one

1 cup

Cake flour, sifted
Baking powder
Salt
Unsalted butter, room temperature
Superfine sugar
eggs, room temperature
Pure vanilla extract
Lemon or orange (optional)

Strawberries, mashed

Oven Temp ~ 350° Baking Time ~ 50 to 60 Min.
Pan Type ~ 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Butter or spray with a pan spray, a 9 x 5 x 3 inch (23 x 13 x 8 cm) loaf pan. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and butter or spray the paper.

In a large bowl sift the flour, baking powder and salt, together twice.

With a hand mixer, beat the butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the sugar, beating continuously on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (this will take about 5 minutes). Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. After about five minutes the batter should be light in color and fluffy in texture. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. You will notice that the batter will look curdled. (This is normal).
Add the vanilla and lemon or orange zest, and beat until incorporated.

Add the flour mixture and mix just until moist.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove the cake from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with fresh strawberries or strawberry sauce.

Note: To make your own superfine sugar - place 1 cup granulated white sugar in the food processor. Process until very fine, about 30 seconds.
