Ingredients
Cake
- 4 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
- 3 1/8 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 4 eggs beaten
Glaze
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mix 4 cups strawberries with sugar. Let sit for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray bundt pan with baking spray and sprinkle bottom evenly with 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- In large bowl combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Whisk to combine well. Add oil, applesauce, eggs, 1/2 cup chopped pecans and strawberry/sugar mixture. Stir to combine. Pour in to bundt pan and cook for 65-70 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of top comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Invert to cake stand and allow to cool to room temperature.
- In small food processor pulse strawberries, butter, and 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Open processor and add remaining 2/3 cup powdered sugar. Pulse a couple more times. Drizzle strawberry glaze over cooled cake.
Notes
- Let the strawberries and sugar sit for about an hour as it will sweeten the strawberries and make a little bit of juice for flavoring the cake.
- Grease and flour your bundt pan well. I love Baker’s Joy which is a non stick baking spray with flour.
- Always preheat the oven and place the cake on the center rack in the middle of the oven.
- Mix the batter only until incorporated as over mixing removes all the air and can make the cake tough.
- Because this cake has chunks of fresh strawberries please refrigerate until ready to serve as well as any leftovers.
- Cool the cake completely before drizzling with the strawberry glaze.
