Tips and Tricks to Make Strawberry Bundt Cake Recipe
If you are planning to use salted butter, cut down the salt in the recipe. Likewise, if strawberry yogurt is not available, you can use vanilla instead. Besides, thicker yogurts will produce a thick batter, which will not let the strawberries sink to the bottom. You can also scoop the batter using a spoon to avoid the strawberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
Moreover, the external surface of the bundt cake will naturally be slightly darker. If you want to glaze the cake, make sure that the cake is completely cool so the glaze will not slide off. Furthermore, you can freeze the cake as long you ensure that it is wrapped well to avoid freezer burn—thaw cake at room temperature before serving.
All the ingredients needed should be at room temperature before creating the cake batter. Furthermore, strawberry cakes can stay fresh in the fridge for around three to four days, so it is ideal to use them up on those days.
Keep in mind that this homemade strawberry bundt cake from scratch freezes well. That is why freeze the strawberry cake without the glaze on top of it. Likewise, you can freeze it as a whole or freeze it in numerous individual slices.
In addition to that, the strawberry glaze is a combination of fresh strawberries, flavored extract, and powdered sugar. For this reason, if you use farm-fresh strawberries, you may no longer need to add cream or milk to thin the glaze out since the strawberries are juicy.
