Step-by-Step Instructions

  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just combined.
  6. Toss the chopped strawberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking.

  8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 55 to 70 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
  10. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  11. To create the glaze, blend reserved strawberries into a puree and mix with powdered sugar.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
