Description
A deliciously moist strawberry butter cake topped with a sweet glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup strawberry milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves or puree
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons strawberry milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the strawberry milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternately add the flour mixture and the wet mixture to the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the strawberry preserves and finely chopped fresh strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake and let it set before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen strawberries if necessary.
