Thank you Krusteaz for sponsoring this summer strawberry lemonade pound cake recipe!
One of summer’s classic flavors = strawberry lemonade. So far this summer, I’ve whipped up thesestrawberry lemonade cupcakesand made a batch of thisstrawberry lemonade refresher for several gatherings. I’m adding to the collection this strawberry lemonade pound cake while celebrating the start of another year of partnership with Krusteaz.
My husband introduced me to Krusteaz almost 8 years ago when we were dating. He LOVES their waffle mix and is the only one he would buy. Back in the dating days when breakfast in bed were still a thing (ahem, can you tell the honeymoon phase is already gone?), he would always make waffles topped with a strawberry cream. One of my favorites breakfast to date. Naturally, when Krusteaz reached out to me two years ago about being an ambassador, I said yes. I’ve been transforming my favorite Krusteaz mixes since then.
This strawberry lemonade pound cake uses one of my ultimate favorite mixes, the meyer lemon pound cake mix. It’s seriously the best pound cake you can get in 5 minutes of work. It’s moist, crumbly and oh so melty in the mouth. I’ve used it in this Easter coconut lemon bundt cake and you can see it here too in it’s unaltered state – meyer lemon pound cake. It’s a great starter for any lemon lover.
This cake starts with the box mix batter, adds a little bit of lemonade to that batter and swirls in fresh strawberry compote for the juicy berries in each bite. Once baked, a sweet strawberry glazed is used to finish off this beauty. It’s everything a summer cake should be. Light, bright and delicious. You need this strawberry lemonade cake in your life. Make it happen soon!
Grab this must-have summer recipe over on Krusteaz.com where I am sharing it with their readers too. And watch out for more delicious transformations of Krusteaz box mixes over the next few months.
Yield: 1 6-inch pound cake

Tried this cake twice..deeelicious though it didnt rise. One box made a tiny cake i used 2 boxes the 2nd time the cake was not much bigger? I like the recipe…HELP
Zainab Mansaray —Reply
Hi Kimmi, I am not sure how I can help as this recipe uses a box mix. One that is already tested several times for consistency. What size pan are you using? For this pictured cake, I used a 6-cup bundt cake pan (not the large 10 or 12 cup bundt cake pans that most people have).
Taylor —Reply
Hi, so if I have a bigger bunt pan how many boxes should I use?3?
Zainab Mansaray —Reply
Hi Taylor, it depends how big your pan is. For a standard large bundt pan, use two packages. The recipe as written is in a 6-cup bundt pan which uses one box of the mix. But for a 10 or 12 cup bundt pan, I would recommend using two boxes.

How did you make the stawberry compote
Zainab Mansaray —Reply
combine fresh strawberries, sugar and a splash of lemon. cook over medium-low heat until berries breakdown and mixture thickens.
Cheryl —Reply
Your ingredient list and directions don’t include eggs, should they be included? They are listed in the ingredients on the package.
Zainab Mansaray —Reply
Hi Cheryl, You can skip the egg. Just follow the recipe as written.
Paul —Reply
I’m confused regarding the egg. As I read the ingredient list above it does say 1 large egg to be added. Please advise and thanks.
Zainab Mansaray —Reply
Hi Paul,
yes, please add an egg as the recipe says. This is the directions on the box mix as well.
