How to Make Strawberry Lemon Bundt Cake
The recipe for this Gugelhupf is quick and easy to prepare. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic baking techniques, you can make a gorgeous cake that is sure to impress.
First, make sure you grease your Gugelhupf pan well and dust it with flour so that it comes out easily after baking.
Prepare the strawberry cake batter
Start by whisking the dry ingredients together and use a blender to puree the fresh strawberries and set aside.
Continue by mixing the butter with sugar, oil, lemon zest and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and strawberry puree. At this point you can add the red color if you want your cake to be a stronger pink color. This is optional.
Finally, mix the chopped strawberries with some flour and carefully work them into the strawberry dough. You can omit them too, but I love how they add fruity flavor and texture to every bite.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. It may take around 60-70 minutes.
Once the cake is baked to perfection, flip and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Prepare the white chocolate and lemon ganache
Melt the white chocolate and cream over a water bath over low heat. It’s important to let it cool until it thickens slightly. If you try to glaze the cake right away it will flow off the cake. Glaze the Bundt cake and decorate with fresh strawberry halves.
You can use other icings, or leave out the icing and just dust the cake with powdered sugar.
Whether you serve this Strawberry Lemon Bundt Cake for dessert or enjoy a slice with a cup of tea in the afternoon, it will delight your taste buds. With its fresh, fruity flavor and beautiful presentation, this cake makes a wonderful addition to any spring or summer menu.
