Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

  3. Gradually add the granulated sugar, beating until light and well incorporated (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in the tablespoon of vanilla extract until combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  8. Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  12. To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and optional strawberry puree until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
