      Equipment:

      • Mixing bowls
      • Electric mixer
      • Spatula
      • 9×5-inch loaf pan or bundt pan
      • Parchment paper (optional)
      • Cooling rack

      Ingredients:

      For the Cake:

      • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
      • 1/2 tsp baking powder
      • 1/4 tsp salt
      • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
      • 2 cups granulated sugar
      • 4 large eggs
      • 1 tsp vanilla extract
      • 1/2 cup sour cream
      • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, diced

      For the Glaze:

      • 1 cup powdered sugar
      • 2–3 tbsp strawberry puree (or milk for a lighter flavor)
      • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

       

       

      Instructions:

      1. Preheat and Prepare the Pan:
        Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf or bundt pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
      2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
        In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
      3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
        In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
      4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla:
        Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract.
      5. Add Sour Cream and Dry Ingredients:
        Mix in the sour cream. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
      6. Fold in Strawberries:
        Gently fold in the diced strawberries using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
      7. Bake the Cake:
        Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
      8. Cool the Cake:
        Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
      9. Prepare the Glaze:
        In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more liquid if needed.
      10. Glaze the Cake:
        Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, letting it run down the sides.

      Presentation Ideas:

      • Garnish the cake with fresh strawberry slices and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
      • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
      • Place the cake on a cake stand for a centerpiece-worthy presentation.

      Tips:

      • Ensure strawberries are patted dry to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
      • Substitute frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren’t available, but thaw and drain them first.
      • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
