Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream or buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries (or thawed and drained frozen)
- ½ cup well-drained crushed pineapple
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare a Bundt or loaf pan by greasing and flouring it.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
- Add each egg one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream (or buttermilk) until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder, then gradually incorporate into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries and crushed pineapple using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and tap gently to release air bubbles.
- Bake for approximately 60–75 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
