Method
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, or spray with non-stick baking spray.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter on medium speed until smooth.
- Gradually add the granulated sugar and mix until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Slowly add the cake flour and mix on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add the buttermilk and lemon extract. Mix until just incorporated, scraping the bowl as needed.
- In a small bowl, toss the chopped strawberries with the 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
- Gently fold the floured strawberries into the cake batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 85-90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter. The crust should be a dark golden brown around the edges and lighter in the center.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack and let it cool completely before glazing.
Glaze and Topping
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Once the cake is completely cool, pour the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. You can add a few more chopped strawberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for decoration, if desired.
- Let the glaze set for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
