Orange Strawberry Swirl Cream Cheese Bundt Cake #BundtaMonth

Every baker needs an infallible classic pound cake recipe to go back to. The sort of recipe you want to pass down generations, one that your grandkids may proudly say “this was my grandma’s recipe. And boy, did she get it right!”

I’m sharing today with you my go-to pound cake recipe. A classic tender cake gussied up with tangy berry sauce. Rich, bursting with a buttery flavor showcasing the inner swirl of orange and strawberry making it unique and memorable.

Every once in a while I like to give this a glaze or switch the sauce or simplify the recipe and bake it with just a lemon zest. Every variation stands up on its own and makes this delicate, rich and buttery cake beautifully.

You can dress up this cake with a dollop of sour cream and fresh berries or just enjoy a warm slice right out of the oven.

Serves: 10-12

Ingredients

For The Cake:

1½ cups butter, softened
3 cups sugar
1 (8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
6 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon almond extract
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon orange zest
⅔ cup citrus strawberry glaze

For the Citrus Strawberry Glaze:

11/4 cups strawberries, roughly chopped
¼ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2-3 tablespoons sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° and generously grease a 14 cup bundt pan.

For The Citrus Strawberry Glaze:

In a heavy bottom pan on medium flame – add the strawberries, orange juice and sugar. Keep stirring till you have a thick sauce where most of the strawberries are mushy and soft.

For The Cake:

In a large bowl beat butter at medium speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese, beating until creamy.
Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating just until blended after each addition.
Gradually add flour to butter mixture. Beat at low speed just until blended after each addition, stopping to scrape bowl as needed.
Stir in the vanilla extract.

Assemble:

Pour one-third of batter into a greased and floured 10-inch (14-cup) tube pan (about 2⅔ cups batter). Dollop 8 rounded teaspoonfuls strawberry glaze over batter, and swirl with wooden skewer. Repeat procedure once, and top with remaining third of batter.
Bake at 350° for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).
