Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup strawberry puree
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh strawberry puree (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon juice, strawberry puree, and lemon zest.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and strawberry puree until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake before serving.

Notes

  • For an extra touch, add fresh sliced strawberries on top of the glaze.
  • If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you can substitute with store-bought strawberry puree or jam.
  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting.
