đ Strawberry Bundt Cake
I baked this strawberry bundt cake last weekend, and the moment I poured that sweet pink glaze over the top, I knew it was going to be a favorite. Itâs soft, moist, and full of that fresh strawberry flavor with a tender crumb that just melts in your mouth. It feels like the perfect treat for Motherâs Day or any spring afternoonâso donât forget to save this one or share it with someone who loves a good homemade cake. đ
Yield: 12 large slices
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (345g)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (226g)
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar (350g)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream (120g)
1/2 cup whole milk (120ml)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries (plus extra for topping)
For the glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (180g)
2â3 tablespoons strawberry puree
1 tablespoon milk (as needed for consistency)
How to make it:
1. I preheat my oven to 350°F and generously grease a bundt pan, making sure to get into every curve so the cake releases beautifully.
2. In a bowl, I whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In another bowl, I cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffyâthis step gives that bakery-style texture.
4. I add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the sour cream, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla.
5. I gently fold the dry ingredients into the batter, being careful not to overmix so the cake stays tender.
6. I fold in the chopped strawberries, then pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
7. I bake for 45â55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs and the top is golden.
8. After cooling in the pan for 15 minutes, I turn it out onto a rack to cool completely before glazing.
9. I whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth, then slowly drizzle it over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides. I finish with a sprinkle of fresh strawberry pieces for that pretty touch.
I love slicing this when the glaze is just setâitâs soft, sweet, and perfect with a cup of coffee.
