Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup strawberry puree
- Red food coloring (optional)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp strawberry puree
- Red food coloring (optional for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add softened butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat at medium speed until the batter is smooth and creamy.
- Divide the Batter: Divide the batter into two equal parts. In one part, mix in the strawberry puree and a few drops of red food coloring to enhance the pink color.
- Create the Marble Effect: Alternately spoon vanilla and strawberry batter into the greased pan. Use a knife to gently swirl through the batter to create a marble effect.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar with milk, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree until smooth. Add a few drops of red food coloring if a pink glaze is desired.
- Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze generously over the top, letting it flow down the sides.
Notes
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, use a natural strawberry extract.
- Ensure the cake is completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
- You can add fresh strawberry pieces to the strawberry batter for added texture.
