• Preheat the oven to 325℉.
• Line or prep the cake pan using parchment paper, baking spray, or cake release paste. A nonstick bundt cake or flutted pan is recommended. Set aside.

Make Pound Cake Batter

• In a large mixing bowl add cake mix, half and half, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs. With a hand mixer on medium speed mix for about 3-4 minutes.
• Remove about 1 ¼ cups of the cake batter into a separate bowl. Add strawberry glaze, jello or pink food coloring and mix well. You want an nice bright pink color. Set aside.
• Grab the prepared baking pan and pour some of the vanilla cake batter. Then some of the strawberry cake batter. Alternate and swirl to make a marble cake.
• Place into the oven and bake for about 50-55 minutes until fully baked and lightly golden brown. Test with a toothpick, when it's removed it should come out clean with a slight crumb.
• Remove from the oven and let cool. Then invert onto a cooling rack to fully cool and onto a serving platter or stand.

Make The Royal Icing

• Make This quick icing when the pound cake has fully cooled and you are ready to frost it.
• In a mixing bowl add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and some of the water. Mixing until it forms a thick icing, add extra water if needed.

Decorate The Cake

• Top the fully cooled pound cake with the royal icing with a spoon. Then sprinkle with strawberry crunch topping.
• Allow the icing to set. Can decorate with fresh strawberries. Enjoy.
