Preparation Steps

  2. Beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated, aiming for a pale, fluffy consistency.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the strawberry milk, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
  6. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the wet ingredients.
  7. Fold in the strawberry preserves and chopped fresh strawberries into the batter.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, checking for doneness.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, strawberry milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  11. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and serve.
