Strawberry Lemonade Buttermilk Cake Recipe
4. Build the Velvety Batter 🥚🫗
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the creamed butter, mixing until completely smooth. Alternate adding your whisked dry ingredients and the buttermilk into the bowl, starting and ending with the dry mix. Stir just until combined. Gently fold in the flour-coated strawberries with a rubber spatula.
5. Bake to a Golden Crown ⏱️👀
Spoon the thick batter evenly into your prepared baking pan. Bake in the center of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Check it by inserting a wooden toothpick into the center—it should come out completely clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
6. Drizzle the Pink Glaze 🎀🍓
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and strawberry puree until it forms a thick, smooth, pourable glaze. Once the cake is entirely cool, remove it from the pan, place it on a serving plate, and drizzle the beautiful pink glaze generously over the top, letting it cascade down the sides!
