  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or strawberry extract.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan meticulously to prevent sticking.
2. Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream: In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Use a electric mixer for best results.
4. Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk or strawberry juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the liquid to reach your desired consistency.
10. Glaze (Optional): Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
11. Serve: Slice and serve. Enjoy this delicious Homemade Strawberry Bundt Cake Recipe
