The strawberry and almond bundt cake is a delicious dessert and perfect for spring when strawberries are most flavorful. Below you will find a recipe you might want to try.

Ingredients

  • 200 g of all-purpose flour
  • 100 g of almond flour
  • 200 g of granulated sugar
  • 100 g of soft butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 300 g of fresh strawberries
  • 1 sachet of baking powder
  • Grated zest of 1 lemon (untreated)
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • Icing sugar (for decorating)
  • Butter and flour for the mould

Preparation

  1. Start by preheating the oven to 180 °C and preparing a bundt cake mould by buttering and flouring it.
  2. Wash, dry and chop the strawberries into small pieces. If you prefer, you can set aside some whole strawberries to decorate the bundt cake once baked.
  3. In a bowl, mix the soft butter with the granulated sugar until you obtain a soft and fluffy cream.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating well each time.
  5. Now add the sifted flour with the baking powder and the almond flour, alternating them with the grated lemon zest and the pinch of salt.
  6. Blend all the ingredients well until you have a homogeneous mixture.
  7. Gently fold the strawberry pieces into the mixture, being careful not to crush them.
  8. Pour the mixture into the prepared mould and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the bundt cake comes out clean.
  9. Remove the bundt cake from the oven and let it cool completely before unmoulding.
  10. Once cooled, dust with icing sugar and decorate with the whole strawberries set aside (optional).

Curiosity

The bundt cake is a classic of Italian home baking, and the addition of seasonal fruit like strawberries makes it even more special. Almond flour not only brings a rich and distinctive flavor but also helps make the cake soft and moist. In some variants, instead of granulated sugar, brown sugar is used for a more rustic flavor.

I recommend pairing this bundt cake with a sweet Moscato d’Asti which with its fruity and floral notes will perfectly complement the flavor of the dessert. Bon appétit!
