Ingredients
To make this delicious strawberry pound cake from scratch, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks or 12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
You’ll also need a 10-inch tube pan.
Instructions
To make this delicious strawberry pound cake from scratch, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Stir in the orange juice and fold in the diced strawberries. Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Tips and Tricks
To ensure that your cake turns out perfectly, it’s important to follow the instructions carefully and use the correct ingredients. Make sure that the butter and eggs are at room temperature before using them, and that you measure the ingredients accurately.
Also, make sure that you don’t overmix the batter. Once the ingredients are combined, stop mixing and pour the batter into the pan. Overmixing can cause the cake to be dense and heavy.
If you’d like to add a bit of extra flavor to the cake, try adding a teaspoon of freshly grated orange zest to the batter. Or, for an even more intense flavor, try adding a few drops of orange extract.
Finally, make sure that you let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. This will ensure that the cake slices nicely and the flavor is at its best.
