Berry bundt cake for Mother’s Day
Would it wonderful if you make this cake for a well-deserved mom/grandmother/to-be mom on Mother’s Day? It’s quite simply a bundt cake with strawberries in it and decorated with fresh strawberries. Don’t forge the whipped cream. It just put a finishing touch to a slice of cake. Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms/grandmas/to-be moms!
Berry Bundt Cakes
Serves 12
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3 cups plus 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
1 cup whole fresh strawberries
Whipped cream, optional
Preheat the oven to 350oF. Grease and lightly flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract. The mixture will be firm.
In another large bowl, sift together the 3 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt. Gradualy add this to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Toss the sliced strawberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and fold them into the batter.
Scrape the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in the center of the oven until a wooden pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out just clean, 1 1/4 hours.
Let the cake cool in the pan over a cooling rack for about 10 minutes. Invert the cake into the cooling rack and let it completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and decorate with whole fresh strawberries in the center. Offer a slice with whipped cream.

I bet the big chunks of strawberries in there are a pretty treat. Not only does it make your cake extra adorable, but it adds a nice tart bite to a soft cake. yummy! Happy mothers day. I hope you got to eat and enjoy some of this treat

Is that a strawberry sauce underneath that cake – good golly. I’ll bake this Mother’s Day or not. Thx for visiting.
actually there’s no strawberry sauce Nina, just plain strawberries….but of course you could serve it with strawberry sauce!

This looks wonderful and beautiful photos! I have a ton of strawberries in the freezer that will need to be used up. Guess I’ll have to make myself a Mother’s Day treat, any time!
