This recipe caught my eye in the latest issue of Southern Living and I immediately had to try it. Wonderfully delicious! My notes: although the instructions stated to bake the cake for 1 hour 10 minutes, my cake had barely begun to rise by this time. I had a total bake time of 1 hour 35 minutes before the cake tested done.

(STRAWBERRY, MAYBE) SWIRL CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

(Strawberry, maybe) Swirl Cream Cheese Pound Cake image

This cake, minus the swirl, was brought to work by a co-worker, (thank you Linda B) who is an excellent cook. It can be a diet buster, one bite and you are hooked. Also works great for wedding cakes if you use layer pans instead of a bundt or tube pan.

Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before starting. This will help them cream together smoothly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
Divide the batter in half. Mix the strawberry puree into one half of the batter.
Layer the two batters in a bundt pan or loaf pan. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the two batters together.
