Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries (for the glaze as well)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (sifted)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp strawberry extract (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp red food coloring (optional)
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree (reserved from the cake)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract for the glaze
  • 1 tsp pure lemon juice or lime juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  2. Wash the strawberries thoroughly. Reserve a few for garnishing later. Blend the remaining strawberries until smooth to create your puree.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, strawberry extract, and strawberry puree until combined.
  4. In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. If desired, add red food coloring to enhance color before pouring. Bake in preheated oven for about 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Once baked, remove from oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. For the glaze, mix reserved strawberry puree with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake before serving.
