Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal heat for baking the cakes evenly.
- Prepare the Pan: Grease and lightly flour the mini bundt pan to prevent the cakes from sticking, ensuring easy removal after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, ensuring they are well incorporated.
- Cream Butter and Add Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. Then, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is well blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet butter mixture, stirring gently to create a smooth batter without overmixing.
- Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill the Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared mini bundt pan molds, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
- Bake the Cakes: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
- Cool and Remove: Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before gently removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better batter texture.
- Fresh strawberries add the best flavor and moisture; however, frozen chopped strawberries can be used if well drained.
- Do not overfill the bundt molds to prevent batter overflow during baking.
- The cakes can be dusted with powdered sugar or glazed if desired for extra sweetness and presentation.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
