Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 5 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1½ cups unsalted butter (room temperature)
Sugars:
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (room temperature)
- 1½ cups diced fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cream cheese frosting (optional for glaze)
Instructions
- Position an oven rack in the center position and preheat to 325°F (163°C). Thoroughly coat a 10-inch (25.4 centimeters) bundt pan with non-stick baking spray, ensuring complete coverage.
- Using an electric mixer, cream softened butter for 1 minute at medium speed. Gradually incorporate brown and white sugars, continuing to mix for 4 additional minutes until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Introduce eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, blending on low speed after each addition. Carefully scrape down the mixer’s sides to guarantee uniform integration of ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry flour mixture and milk into the batter in three alternating portions, mixing on low speed until just combined. Gently incorporate fresh strawberries by hand, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it uniformly. Bake for 80 minutes, removing the pan midway through cooking to tent with aluminum foil, preventing excessive browning.
- Verify cake doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should emerge clean. Remove from oven and allow the cake to rest in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Carefully invert the cake onto a cooling rack, permitting it to reach room temperature completely. Optional: Prepare cream cheese glaze by microwaving in 15-second intervals until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
