Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry puree or strawberry syrup
- Pink food coloring (optional)
For the Glaze:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons strawberry syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture. Stir in vanilla extract.
Divide batter into two portions. Mix strawberry puree and optional coloring into one portion.
Pour alternating layers of vanilla and strawberry batter into the pan. Use a knife to gently swirl.
Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cake cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over cooled cake.
Notes
Do not over-swirl the batter, or the colors will blend completely instead of creating a marbled effect.
