# Ingredients:
→ For the cake
01 -
1 pound (454 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
02 -
226 grams unsalted butter, at a cool room temperature
03 -
400 grams granulated sugar
04 -
4 large eggs, at room temperature
05 -
318 grams all-purpose flour
06 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
07 -
1 teaspoon salt
08 -
227 grams sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
→ For the glaze
09 -
34 grams freeze-dried strawberries
10 -
375 grams powdered sugar, sifted
11 -
1/2 cup milk
# Instructions:
01 -
In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until you yield about 1 cup. Transfer puree to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half (approximately 30 minutes). Cool completely before adding to the batter. Optionally, cover and refrigerate overnight.
02 -
Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat while preparing the cake batter.
03 -
In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until just combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the batter in three portions, alternating with the sour cream-strawberry puree mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix on low speed until the batter is smooth.
04 -
Generously grease a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick spray, ensuring all areas are coated. Pour batter evenly into the pan and smooth the surface. Tap the pan on the counter to eliminate any large air bubbles.
05 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean. Rest the baked cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes before turning out onto a serving platter to cool completely. If the cake sticks, gently loosen it with a thin spatula.
06 -
In a blender or food processor, pulverize the freeze-dried strawberries into a fine powder. In a bowl, whisk together the strawberry powder, powdered sugar, and milk until a thick glaze forms. Drizzle it over the cooled cake. Let it set for 20 minutes, until the glaze is dry to touch, before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Optionally, add the zest of one lemon into the glaze for a bright, tangy flavor.

Freeze-dried strawberries can typically be found near other dried fruits in most grocery stores, including Trader Joe's or Target.
