Chocolate Strawberry Pound Cake

Butter (Room Temperature)

Cream Cheese (Room Temperature)

Sugar

Vanilla

Eggs (Room Temperature)

Flour (I always sift)

Cocoa

Strawberries (Cut in small pieces)

Strawberries (Chopped)

Lemon

Tbsp Granulated Sugar

Tbsp Butter (Room Temperature)

oz Cream Cheese (Room Temperature)

Powdered Sugar (I sifted)

Kosher

Milk (Optional)

I start this cake in a cold over, so I DO NOT PREHEAT THE OVEN.  You can if you like. Preheat to 325°.

Grease and flour pan well.

Cream butter and cream cheese well in mixer.

Add sugar a cup at a time and mix well.

Add vanilla

Combine cocoa and flour

Add eggs alternately with flour/cocoa mixture.  I add two eggs, make sure they are well incorporated and add a cup of the flour/cocoa mixture and repeat.

Fold in strawberries.  See note above on baking a cake with strawberries.

Pour batter in greased pan.

Bake at 325° for 1¼ to 1½ hours.

Remove from oven.  Insert a sharp knife in center to see if done.  If it comes out clean or with some crumbs it&#039;s done.  If it comes out with batter, continue baking.

Let it cool for 15 minutes.

Instructions for Chocolate Cream Cheese Pound Cake

Combine strawberries, sugar and lemon juice in a food processor or blender.

Strain puree through a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds..  Using a rubber spatula, press the strawberry puree through by working the spatula back and forth in a sweeping motion.

Cook puree at a medium high heat for 10 minutes to reduce down.

Set aside and cool at room temperature

Cream butter and cream cheese well in small to medium bowl.

Add powdered sugar 1/2 cup to 1 cup at a time.  Mix well after each addition.

Add strawberry puree.  The original recipe says to add 2 - 3 Tablespoons.  I added all of it, which was a little over 1/4 cup.

The original recipe does not call for milk.  I wanted mine to be more glaze like and pour well, so I added about ¼ cup milk.  You can even add a little more.  This is completely optional.

I just used a basic pasta dough that I mixed various colors into it to make the stripes. I just really used my own amounts with the coloring and I found out later after I boiled them that the colors faded a bit(though I think that is normal). Next time, I will knead in more of the colors. I found some colored powders at my local Natural Foods store. They didn't have too many choices...but, I was grateful for what I found....enough to make my pasta creations! I used beetroot powder,tomato powder,barley powder and the regular uncolored dough. You can easily substitute for the barley (broccoli,spinach,parsley,cilantro). The tomato powder can be substituted by carrot powder. You can also use turmeric to make a yellow dough. I think next time I will use real beet juice instead of the beet powder. It won't fade as much. This is fun to be creative with....how about checkers instead of stripes, bi colored, tri colored or just making individual colors? I hope you to will have fun with this recipe!
