SERVINGS or 6 to 8

Equipment

1 stand mixer or handheld mixer

1 spatula

1 large mixing bowl

1 1lb loaf pan 8.5 x 4.5 inches

1 whisk

1 small bowl

Ingredients

For the Pound Cake:

1/2 tsp Almond Extract
1/2 tsp Vanilla
1 or 2 heaping tsp Cherry Liqueur - I used Combier Rouge but Cherry Heering is excellent too.
1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 cup Unsalted Butter - Softened
4 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 cup Red Confetti Dot Sprinkles

For The Glaze:

1 cup Confectioners Sugar
1 tbsp Cherry Liqueur
1/4 tsp Vanilla
1/2 tsp Organic Strawberry Powder
1 to 2 tbsp Water - added in small amounts as needed
Pinch of Salt

Instructions

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle combine sugar and butter, vanilla, almond extract, and cherry liqueur until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and continue to beat in until combined.
Whisk together the flour and salt and add in flour and salt mixture a little at a time while mixer is running. Beat together until completely combined.
Remove bowl from stand mixer and stir in red sprinkles by hand with a spatula then transfer the batter to a greased loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
When baked, remove the pound cake from the loaf pan and transfer to a serving plate. Let cool completely.
While it cools, prepare the glaze. Combine powdered sugar, strawberry powder, cherry liqueur, vanilla, and water by whisking together in a small bowl. If mixture is too thick, add water by dripping in a few drops at a time to adjust until mixture drizzles freely from your whisk. If too thin, adjust by adding in more powdered sugar.
Finish by drizzling your pink strawberry powder glaze over the completely cooled pound cake. Serve with hot coffee or your favorite hot tea.
