Fresh Strawberry Cake
Fresh Strawberry Cake is a moist and fluffy cake filled and topped with fresh strawberries, baked to perfection, drenched in a sweet warm milk mixture, and dusted with confectioners’ sugar. It’s a refreshing and delightful treat that is not just for the summertime! Enjoy a piece with a cup of coffee, as a snack, or as a dessert. Try my Strawberry Dump Cake for another dessert with fresh strawberries.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Strawberries: I used fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and diced. You could also use frozen strawberries that have been thawed.
Baking Powder: Be sure the baking powder is fresh for the best results.
Topping: The combination of milk, unsalted butter, and sugar is poured over the baked cake, saturating it, for a super moist crumb and added sweetness.
Can I Add a Glaze to the Cake?
Yes, you could add a glaze to the cake. In fact, we did test this
strawberry cake with and without the glaze. Taste testers agreed that the glaze did not add any spectacular flavor; the cake is delicious enough without it. However, if you do add a glaze, I recommend drizzling it over the cake while it is still warm.
Gluten-Free Strawberry Cake
You can use a good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose in this recipe.
