Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries or strawberry puree
  • A few drops of red or pink food coloring (optional for color boost)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tbsp cream cheese for extra richness (softened)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour your Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  3. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, beating until light and fluffy—this should take about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
  7. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries or puree. If desired, add food coloring to enhance color.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth out the top.
  10. Bake in your preheated oven for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk, and vanilla extract. If using, add softened cream cheese for extra richness until smooth and pourable.
  12. Once your cake has cooled completely, drizzle generously with the white glaze over the top to finish off this delightful dessert!
