Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • Fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp milk (or heavy cream for richness)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8-inch pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Blend chopped strawberries until smooth. Optionally strain to remove seeds. Whisk strawberry puree with powdered sugar and add milk or cream to reach a thick but pourable consistency.
  • Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices or powdered sugar.
