Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained slightly)
  • 1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 tbsp flour (to toss strawberries prevents sinking)
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple (with juice) for topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced for topping

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch for topping
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 23 tbsp pineapple juice or milk for glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit layer by cooking crushed pineapple, sliced strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thickened. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a Bundt or tube pan. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy; add eggs one at a time.
  3. Mix dry ingredients; alternate adding them with sour cream to the creamed mixture. Fold in drained pineapple and flour-tossed strawberries.
  4. Layer half the batter in the pan, top with half the fruit mixture, then add remaining batter and more fruit if desired.
  5. Bake for 70-80 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. Mix powdered sugar with pineapple juice (or milk), vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Drizzle this glaze over your cooled cake for added sweetness.
