**Recipe by Beth M.** 

Creating something special for your Valentine’s Day loves can be super simple.  The beautiful rich colors compliment the strawberry aroma that fills the kitchen creating an ambiance of adoration!  The taste is simply out of this world with a cheesecake flavor in a versatile pound cake recipe.  I created this using a simple fluted pan and I love how many people this pan serves!

Finding that perfect balance between flavors can be a reward for your taste buds.  The sweet strawberry flavor mingled with the tiniest hint of lemon creates a dancing fragrant gala with each bite.  My kiddos love this sweet treat and trying to keep my hands out of it proves harder than I thought! This recipe is moist, yet dense and just the right tag along for any occasion!
