Strawberry Bundt Cake: For an Easy Bake
Our strawberry bundt cake consists of both a quick batter and a glaze. Start by mixing together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Then, gradually add the eggs. Combine flour with baking powder and salt and stir into the other ingredients while mixing. Finally, fold in chopped strawberries and pour the batter into the pan. Finally, bake for 45 minutes.
Once the cake has cooled completely, it’s time to glaze it! You can make it by combining mashed strawberries, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. The result will be a strawberry bundt cake that surprises with a wonderfully moist and fluffy texture and a fresh taste. It is, in short, the perfect summer treat.
