Strawberry Pineapple Pound Cake

A bright, moist, and indulgent pound cake bursting with sweet strawberries and tangy pineapple. Perfect for brunch, dessert, or anytime comfort.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 loaf or bundt cake (8-10 servings) 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained if using canned)
  • 1 cup diced strawberries (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
  • ¼ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt (optional for added moisture)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in batches, mixing until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple, diced strawberries, and sour cream (if using). The batter will be thick.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Bundt pans may take slightly less time.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • Drain fruit well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added.
  • This cake tastes even better the next day!
  • Freeze individual slices for easy future snacking.
