I’m a huge fan of pound cakes, I grew up with these cakes and it was one of the first things that I learnt how to bake on my own as a kid. Every time I feel the smell from the oven I get back some childhood memories with me trying to bake after school.
Anyway, this Strawberry Pound Cake might be the perfect pound cake if you’re a fan of strawberries as it’s topped with some delicious and fresh strawberries. The strawberry taste goes so well together with the lemon zest that we put in the sponge. It makes a perfectly balanced and very summery pound cake which I could eat almost every day.
