Description
A delightful twist on a classic dessert, combining sweet strawberries and creamy strawberry milk for a moist and flavorful cake.
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 (for the glaze)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the glaze)
- Pinch of salt (for the glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or loaf pan.
- Cream together softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy — about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to keep the batter smooth.
- Whisk together strawberry milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract in a separate small bowl until smooth.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
- Gradually alternate adding the dry and wet mixtures to the creamed butter, starting and ending with the dry mix. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in strawberry preserves and finely chopped strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth for the glaze. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
