Strawberries and Glaze
- 3 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, washed, dried, and sliced
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
Homemade Vanilla Cake
- 2 cups self-rising flour, sifted
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sour cream (or whole milk)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- First preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and generously spray a Bundt cake pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Next wash strawberries and use a knife to cut them into slices. Place sliced strawberries on a paper-towel lined plate and pat dry.
- In a medium bowl, sift self-rising flour and combine with salt. Set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, place eggs, sugar, oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Use an electric hand mixer and mix on low-medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Next, add in sour cream and beat until combined.
- Next begin adding in flour mixture in increments and mix until just combined and the flour is no longer showing. Do not overmix.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt 5 tbsp butter and pour into the bottom of Bundt cake pan. Sprinkle evenly with light brown sugar. Top with sliced strawberries.
- Pour cake batter evenly over strawberries and bake in the oven for 45 minutes to 55 minutes or until cake is a light golden brown.
- Let cake cool on a wire cooling rack for 10-15 minutes.
- After the cake has cooled, run a sharp, thin knife around the cake edges. Next, place a plate on top of your strawberry upside down cake pan and use a swift motion to flip your cake. Let the cake fall down on its own and if you feel any resistance on any of the sides use a spoon to tap on the cake pan to get it to release. Gently slide the cake pan up and marvel at the beauty of your strawberry cake!
- Serve warm and if desired top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Store leftover cake covered with a lid or covered with plastic wrap at room temperature for 24 hours or refrigerate in an air tight container for 3-4 days. Re-heat slices in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until warm.
