Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped and patted dry
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream (for glaze)
- Fresh strawberry slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or Bundt pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and strawberry gelatin until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry. Mix in vanilla extract. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar and heavy cream to form a glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake and top with strawberry slices if desired.
- Slice and serve with milk or ice cream.
Notes
- Pat strawberries dry to avoid extra moisture in the batter.
- Tent with foil if the top begins to brown too quickly.
- For stronger flavor, add a drop of strawberry extract to the batter.
- Let cake cool fully before glazing to prevent melting.
