TANGY STRAWBERRY CREAM CHEESE POUND CAKE

My eldest daughter’s best friend got married a earlier this month and she had asked me to make the cake. I don’t make wedding cakes often and usually just for family and close friends. They are time intensive and I charge a crazy high amount for other people. Anyway, after discussing various flavor combos she decided on strawberry with ganache filling. I was cool with that.

I was cool with that until I realized that there is no strawberry pound cake recipe that I know of that would stand up to the rigors of wedding cake — being stacked, being transported and hour and a half, etc. I thought about it for days and just before I was about to tell her we had to go with a vanilla cream cheese poundcake I got an idea.
