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.
