- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries (diced and lightly tossed in 1 tablespoon flour)
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon finely mashed strawberries
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk. Gently fold in floured strawberries.
- Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and glaze: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Combine glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
Notes
- Use only fresh strawberries for best results.
- For a sweeter glaze, increase powdered sugar.
