Step-by-Step Instructions for Strawberry Pound Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8 or 9-inch loaf pan.

  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until no visible flour remains.
  5. Fold in the diced strawberries evenly.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
