WHY THE STRAWBERRY LEMON BUNDT CAKE IS A MUST?
A spring Bundt cake recipe that’s great for Easter.
It’s so stunning, you’re absolutely smitten with it.
It’s lightly sweet, with a very fresh taste.
HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BUNDT CAKE?
Step 1: To start making the Bundt cake with strawberries, set your oven to preheat and then really, really grease the pan. I take my time, using my fingers to get every nook and cranny, and if need be, I go in again with a brush. Never rush greasing. It’s the most important step of the Bundt cake recipe.
Step 2: Since it’s an eggless Bundt cake, make the buttermilk by mixing 3/4th cup of milk with a tablespoon of vinegar. Set it aside.
Step 3: Meanwhile, sift together all-purpose flour with baking powder and baking soda.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, cream softened butter with caster sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and either pure lemon oil or lemon extract (absolutely optional).
Step 5: To this creamed butter, we add the dry ingredients and buttermilk in stages, starting and ending with flour.
So, you go like this: take 1/3 of the dry ingredients, mix, pour part of the buttermilk, mix again, follow with another 1/3 of the dry ingredients, mix, add the leftover buttermilk, mix again, and finally take the last of the dry ingredients and do one final mix to form a thick, smooth batter with no visible dry streaks.

Step 6: Fold in lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped strawberries (that I tossed in a little flour, so they don’t sink to the bottom) into the lemon strawberry Bundt cake batter.

Step 7: Transfer the batter to a greased pan, and then bake until a skewer inserted comes out clean (or with a few moist crumbs attached).
Step 8: Let the cake cool before you turn it over on a serving platter.
Final step: Dig in as-is (or oomph it up with lemon glaze).

NOTES ON LEMON STRAWBERRY BUNDT CAKE
- It took me years to be comfortable baking with Bundt pans. My early experiments were disasters, and then I learned 2 tricks for handling this curvy baking dish.
- The first is greasing. Grease, grease, and grease.
- The next step is pouring the batter. Start around the flute, making sure it’s even. Then fill the rest of the pan. Level the batter with a knife right before you slide it into the oven, so the base doesn’t have bumps.
- Glaze the cake only after it has cooled completely.
- In my neck of the woods, strawberry season is about to end. That means the berries are extra juicy and just the right amount of sweet. So, I picked up a few extra punnets, and I highly recommend you do so too.

Besides this eggless cake recipe, there are plenty of cakes with fresh strawberries you can make. Or you can try:
- Strawberry chia jam
- strawberry jam cake
- strawberry frangipane tart
- Strawberry apple galette
- Strawberry chia pudding
- Strawberry scones
You can even freeze the strawberries and keep using them for smoothies, popsicles, tarts, or muffins.

HOW TO FREEZE STRAWBERRIES?
Strawberries freeze beautifully and easily. I wash them well, pat them dry, and then hull the tops or simply chop them off. Then I lay them in a single layer to freeze (so they don’t stick together in unholy lumps). Once frozen, you can transfer them to airtight storage containers or Ziplock bags.

SERVING & STORING FRESH STRAWBERRY BUNDT CAKE
Bake a strawberry Bundt cake from scratch, and it’s a thing of beauty. Light golden crumb studded with juicy red berries, it needs no adornment or ruffles.
But I love icing Bundt cakes.
So, here’s the simplest recipe for lemon glaze. Combine lemon juice with icing sugar and then pour. Top with lemon zest, stick fresh strawberries to fill the gap in the center, and voilà.
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
If you’re not too fond of lemon glaze for cake, you can easily dust it with caster sugar and call it a day.
The best part about strawberry Bundt cake recipes, for me at least, is that they are bound to stay nice and moist for 3 to 4 days thanks to the moisture content in strawberries.
Simply store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

STRAWBERRY LEMON POUND CAKE VARIATIONS
Flour: There are quite a few variations you can try with lemon strawberry Bundt cake.
- Switch to whole wheat flour
- Go half-and-half with whole wheat and all-purpose flour
- Use 50% buckwheat flour and 50% either whole wheat or all-purpose flour
Vegan: Replace the milk and butter with plant-based alternatives to make a vegan strawberry lemon Bundt cake. If coconut oil is more accessible, then use that.
Add-ins: In the mood to add a textural dimension and nutty depth to the eggless strawberry cake recipe? Throw in some chopped almonds; they’ll pair deliciously with strawberries.
Now that I think of it, fresh rosemary is another way to jazz up the cake, just as it did my strawberry and rosemary scones.
