Ingredients

  • For the pound cake:
  • 2 cups all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the strawberry swirl:
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves
  • 1/2 cup fresh diced strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 9×5‑inch loaf pan (or bundt pan).
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and sour cream.
  4. Gently fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
  6. Warm jam slightly and stir in fresh strawberries if using.
  7. Spoon half of the cake batter into the pan, spread cheesecake filling over it, then drizzle some strawberry jam. Top with remaining batter and swirl more jam through the top using a knife or skewer.
  8. Bake for 60–70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Add graham cracker crumble on top before baking for extra cheesecake flavor.
  • Mix lemon or orange zest into the pound cake batter for citrus notes.
  • Swap in raspberry or blueberry jam for a different fruit twist.
  • Finish with a drizzle of vanilla glaze or melted white chocolate.
  • Double recipe and bake in a bundt pan to serve more people.
