Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2½ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon flour (to toss strawberries)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tablespoons strawberry puree or milk (for glaze)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and graciously grease and flour a loaf or bundt pan.
  2. Blend the softened butter and cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add in the sugar and continue to beat for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is light and airy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  5. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  6. Combine the dry mixture to the batter alternately with the milk, mixing just until combined.
  7. Prepare the strawberries by tossing them with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.
  8. Fold the floured strawberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  10. Bake for 70 to 80 minutes (or 55 to 60 minutes for a loaf) until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  11. Cool the cake for 15 minutes in the pan before removing and letting it cool completely on a rack.
  12. Make the optional glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree or milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  13. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
  14. Slice the cake into portions and serve with coffee or tea.

Notes
