Strawberry Pound Cake image

This beautiful cake is my husband's favorite. I add chopped pecans and strawberries to the batter and brush the cake right out of the oven with a sweet strawberry glaze. If there's any extra glaze, just serve it on the side.&emdash;Sue Wesson, Springhill, Louisiana

This cake was a complete disaster. It was dry, dense, and flavorless.
