Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (to coat strawberries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 23 tbsp milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Mix in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
  7. Toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to ensure a tender crumb.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
