It’s strawberry season! When the time comes around for fresh strawberries, we love to get them fresh-picked from the farmer’s market or the roadside stands. Those bright red piles of deliciousness packed in their little green baskets just make us so happy. We’re always looking for new ways to enjoy the bounty when strawberry season hits. That’s why I created this recipe for Strawberry Bundt Cake. It’s the perfect sweet treat for brunch, and grandma would be proud of this updated version.
The sweet, red fruit makes the cake bright pink and so tasty. Offsetting this sweet bundt cake, a dollop of cream cheese adds just the right amount of creamy tang. It’s the perfect pairing so the overall combination is not overly sweet and cloying. Instead, you get a bite full of strawberry flavor with a nice creamy complement.

One of the things that makes this recipe for strawberry bundt cake even better is that the fruit does not have to be perfect. You know when you get a basket of strawberries and the ones on top are always big, perfect and beautiful? But the ones on the bottom are sometimes less perfectly shaped? Well, those are the strawberries we use for this recipe. They are just as delicious, and we’re going to cut them up anyway so it doesn’t matter what shape they take.
Look at that rich, pink cake – slices so easily.We also love this recipe because it is so darn easy to make as a fun sweet treat for brunch. Just a few simple ingredients combined to make a tasty strawberry-flavored cake. Wait until you see just how easily this cake comes together.
