Ingredients
For the Cake:
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped
For the Strawberry Glaze:
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, mashed
• 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan (or two 9-inch round pans for a layered cake).
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter & Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Wet & Dry:
Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
5. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for 30-35 minutes (round cakes) or 40-45 minutes (9×13-inch cake), until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before glazing.
6. Make the Glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together mashed strawberries, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
7. Glaze & Serve:
Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and spread evenly. Let it set before slicing. Enjoy! 🍓✨
This cake is sweet, fruity, and absolutely irresistible! Perfect for any occasion. 🎂💕
