Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan.
Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
This usually takes 3–4 minutes.
Step 3: Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Then add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together:
-
flour
-
baking powder
-
salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the batter, alternating with the strawberry milk.
Mix gently until combined.
Step 5: Add Strawberry Flavor
Fold in the strawberry puree or syrup.
If desired, add a few drops of pink food coloring for a brighter color.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Step 6: Bake the Cake
Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before adding the glaze.
