Strawberry Rum Pound Cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Butter and flour a standard loaf pan and set aside.

Step 3

Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder in a bowl. In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and lightened in color. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating in between each addition. Add the egg yolk, the milk and both extracts and blend until smooth.

Step 4

Add the flour mixture, in two batches and stir together until combined. Fold in the strawberries and then pour the batter into the loaf pan.

Step 5

Bake for 1 hour until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool slightly and then remove from the loaf pan to a wire rack to cool.
