AMAZING STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE W SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE | Welcome to Essential Comforts Mama! | Diana Hansberry
AMAZING STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE W SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE

A gorgeous pound cake that is 
full-fat and buttery! 
Eat it by itself too, hehe.
Perfect for 4th of July or Memorial day!
YUM! 



SOUR CREAM POUND CAKE 
Makes 1 loaf

3/4c softened butter
1 1/2c sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2c flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2c. sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
10 drops orange or lemon vitality essential oil from Young Living (OPTIONAL)

Gradually add sugar to the butter and beat well.
Add eggs one at a time, beat after each.
Combine flour & baking powder then add to the mixture.
Add sour cream. Beat 4-5 min.
Mix in extract.

Pour into greased/floured loaf pan (I put a piece of parchment in the bottom of my pan..lifesaver!)
Bake for 80 minutes at 325 degrees (I do 350 for the last 15 min because I like a crustier top)
It is done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean
Cool on a wire rack and remove from pan carefully.



STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE INSTRUCTIONS 
Slice at least 2 lbs of strawberries (they will shrink, don't be skimpy) and then blend about a half cup of them which I add back to the rest of the strawberries. Sprinkle 1/4 - 1/2 cup of sugar on them and a little cinnamon/vanilla.  Make it the sweetness you like. Let it sit for a an hour or two to make its own juice (I don't like my shortcake to be too dry).

Mix a pint of cream with sweetener to taste (usually a tbsp or two for me) and a bit of vanilla. Whip to the consistency you want. In a bowl, put a slice of cake, then some strawberries w/juice and then the cream. Repeat another layer if you like it big :D
Top with a whole strawberry. Garnish with a bit of cinnamon.
I make two cakes for our family of nine and buy 2 pints of cream so we can have another round the next day.
I use 4-6 small containers of strawberries.

** If you need shortcake that is low carb, replace the pound cake with low carb pancake.  For that matter, feel free to skip the starch altogether! YUM!

 Sharing what works for me and loving on others.
I pray you will be blessed!
 



Hey there! :)
God has created so many neat things for our health and pleasure.
I'm so glad you've come to learn more about them!

I'm Diana,  homeschooling mama of seven.  While it is sometimes chaotic (like quite often, haha), I love bringing my children into my world whether it be out in the garden or by my side learning to crochet.  Life is full of blessings for everyone.  We can be more JOYFUL people when we intentionally look for them and praise God for the beauty in the simple things He gives us every day!

Truly pure essential oils are one of those blessings...tools the Lord has given us for our good and to help us in so many ways! Young Living has been used mightily in our lives! Oregano oil was the first game-changer for me. It worked so well I never went back to my old toxic ways.  Every person in my family has been impacted for the better and I want to spread that message so others can experience the blessing too!  

Besides UN-adulterated essential oils, YL also has loads of oil-infused toxin-free products to help break the chains from personal care products that have caused many to have hormonal issues, increased cancer risk, depression, behavioral issues, etc.

I love having FRUGAL natural alternatives to keep my family well and am here to help, edify, and empower others <3
