Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or loaf pan.

- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix in sour cream and strawberry milk until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in chopped strawberries.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar, strawberry milk, and crushed freeze-dried strawberries until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake and let set before slicing.
Notes
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; bring to room temperature before serving.
- Glaze will set as it sits; you can add extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries for more color and strawberry flavor.
- If using a different pan size, adjust bake time accordingly and start checking doneness at 50 minutes.
- For a lighter texture, do not overmix the batter after adding the dry ingredients.
