Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 2 tbsp freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • 2 tbsp strawberry puree
  • 1/2 tsp strawberry extract
  • Pink gel food coloring, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Generously grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Gradually add the sugar and beat for 3 to 4 minutes until light and creamy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  7. Add the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Mix just until combined.
  8. Divide the batter evenly into two bowls.
  9. Leave one bowl plain for the vanilla batter.
  10. In the second bowl, mix in the freeze-dried strawberry powder, strawberry puree, strawberry extract, and a little pink gel food coloring until fully blended.
  11. Spoon alternating scoops of vanilla batter and strawberry batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  12. Use a butter knife or skewer to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled effect. Do not overmix.
  13. Smooth the top and tap the pan lightly on the counter.
  14. Bake for 75 to 85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature ingredients for best results.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
  • Adjust food coloring for a deeper pink if desired.
