Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup strawberry puree (fresh or frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink food coloring (optional)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup strawberry puree
  • 2 tablespoons milk (or more to reach desired consistency)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk and strawberry puree. If using food coloring, add it to this mixture.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  10. Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
