Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Salted Butter, softened to room temperature

- 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, cut in chunks
Lemon Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 tbsp Heavy Cream

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a loaf pan with nonstick or parchment paper, set aside.

- Remove 1 tbsp of flour from the measured out 2 cups and set aside.
- Add in half of the flour.
- Mix in slowly until just combined.
- Add the remaining flour, baking powder and baking soda and mix until just combined. You should still be able to see some streaks of flour.
- Coat the prepared fresh strawberries in the 1 tbsp of flour and add to the batter. Fold into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread in an even layer.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 minutes. Then add a foil tent before putting the pan back in the oven to bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when a toothpick comes out of the center clean (or with just a few crumbs) and the edges/top are golden.
- Do not remove the pound cake from the pan until it is fully cooled.
- Before the loaf is done cooling, mix together the lemon glaze ingredients.
- Once cooled, remove the pound cake from the pan and drizzle the lemon glaze on top.
- Slice, serve and enjoy!
