Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- For the swirl: 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- For the icing: 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together for the swirl.
- Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter. Add the chopped strawberries evenly on top. Pour the remaining batter over the strawberries and sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.
- Using a knife, gently swirl the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- For the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and pureed strawberries in a small bowl until smooth.
- Once the cake is cool, drizzle the creamy strawberry icing over the top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the vegetable oil with melted butter.
- Add a teaspoon of almond extract to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
