LIME-MINT POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY FILLING



Lime-Mint Pound Cake with Strawberry Filling image

This pound cake is a combination of some of my favorite flavors. It's predominately strawberry and lime, with a subtle, refreshing hint of mint that hits just on the back of your tongue. This cake is just as good without the mint, however--so if you're not a fan, feel free to omit it.

Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups frozen strawberries
4 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 large eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Place strawberries, sugar, and lime juice for filling in a nonreactive pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Mash strawberries into smaller pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Pour 1/3 of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Mix in 1/2 of the yogurt until just combined. Repeat once more with flour and yogurt, then with remaining flour. Gently fold in mint leaves.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Carefully spoon the cooled filling over the batter, keeping it away from the sides and center tube of the pan. Carefully spoon remaining batter over the filling and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.

LEMON POUND CAKE (FOR STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE)



Lemon Pound Cake (For Strawberry Shortcake) image

I made this pound cake when I was in the mood for strawberry shortcake, but wanted a better tasting cake part. It was so good with fresh strawberries sprinkled with sugar. It is very good alone as well. I found it in my local newspaper many years ago.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and fluffy pound cake, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and airy crumb.
  • Use fresh lemons and mint for the best flavor. The zest of the lemons will add a bright, citrusy flavor, while the mint will provide a refreshing touch.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at the specified temperature and time. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when it is done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the cake to set properly.
  • Serve the cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
