Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale.
- Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Baking
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan (or a loaf pan) and bake for about 60-70 minutes.
- A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean; if it starts to brown too much before it’s cooked, tent it with aluminum foil.
Cooling and Serving
- Once baked, let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- Let it cool completely before dusting with powdered sugar.
Notes
You can use frozen strawberries if fresh ones aren't in season. Substitute buttermilk with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice. Feel free to add lemon zest for extra flavor.
