- For the Glaze (optional):
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Toss chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 80–90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- If using glaze, whisk ingredients together and drizzle over cooled cake before serving.
Notes
- For a sweeter glaze, use 2 tablespoons of milk.
- Make sure the cake is fully cooled before drizzling the glaze to prevent it from melting.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- This cake can also be frozen for up to 3 months without the glaze.
