Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt or tube pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese. Beat together for 3-5 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Gradually add granulated sugar and beat until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold this into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the flour-dusted strawberries into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75-85 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool the cake in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  9. For the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.
