Ingredients
Strawberry Cake:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter , softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 large eggs
- 1 cup whole or 2% milk
- 2 cups fresh strawberries , chopped and blotted dry
Strawberry Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries , chopped
- milk , to consistency
Instructions
Cake:
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and eggs, beating on high speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the flour mixture into sugar mixture alternately with milk on low speed, beating just until smooth after each addition. Fold in chopped strawberries by hand.
- Pour into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes; remove from pan(s) to wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
Strawberry Glaze:
- When cakes are cooled, make glaze. Start by muddling the chopped strawberries.
- Add to the powdered sugar and mix. Add the milk very sparingly until a pourable consistency.
- Place the cake on cooling rack with aluminum foil or parchment underneath. Spoon glaze over cakes and let excess drip below. Let glaze set and then transfer to serving tray.
