Strawberry Pound Cake With Chocolate Ganache
This Strawberry Pound Cake recipe is my ode to a Chocolate Covered Strawberry! It boasts the fresh, tangy sweetness of strawberries complimented by the rich, decadence of chocolate. This Strawberry Pound Cake is 1000X better than any strawberry cake mix and so drool worthy everyone will beg you for the recipe. Because strawberries are amazing and juicy and sweet. And because I crave strawberries every time I pass them in the store and every time I drive past the fields and fields of strawberries by my house.
The Strawberry Pound Cake is rich, and soft and super moist and tastes like strawberries! It’s way better than the box kind with only 10 minutes more effort. So worth it. I could have topped the cake with a lemon glaze and I am sure that still would have been delish, but the cake’s richness demanded an equally decadent adornment aka 5-Minute Silky Chocolate Ganache. To live for. Don’t let the word “ganache” scare you. As you might have guessed – it takes less than 5 minutes to make and is smooth, creamy and chocolaticious! So every bite is chocolate covered moist, rich Strawberry Pound Cake.
