  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

For the Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 1 tbsp strawberry puree (optional) For stronger flavor and color.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly.

Make the Batter

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3–4 minutes).
  • Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and almond extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.

Add the Strawberries

  • Fold in diced strawberries gently with a spatula.

Bake

  • Pour batter evenly into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Cool and Glaze

  • Cool for 15 minutes in pan on a wire rack, then invert onto wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, strawberry milk, and strawberry puree until smooth and pourable.
  • Drizzle glaze generously over cooled cake, letting it drip into the nooks and crannies.
  • Garnish with fresh strawberries around the cake.

Notes

This cake is best served fresh, with additional strawberries or whipped cream. For variations, consider adding white chocolate chips or using roasted strawberries for flavor.
