For the cake:

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

4 large eggs

½ cup sour cream

½ cup crushed pineapple (drained)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 ½ cups fresh strawberries (sliced)

For the glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp pineapple juice (or milk for a creamier glaze)

Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice for extra tang

Directions :


1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan.

2. Cream butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy.

3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

4. Mix in sour cream, vanilla, and crushed pineapple.

5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.

6. Fold in the sliced strawberries gently with a spatula.

7. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. Let cake cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
