what I use<\/a> and order from Amazon.<\/p>\nIn your Kitchen Aid mixer bowl, mix at medium speed the 3 sticks of butter<\/strong> at room temperature with 1 1\/4 teaspoons of salt<\/strong>, 3 teaspoons of baking powder<\/strong> and 1 3\/4 cups of granulated sugar<\/strong>. Beat at medium to medium-high speed until light and fluffy.<\/p>\nNow, alternating starting and ending with the flour, add it and the egg mixture into the Kitchen Aid butter mixture on medium speed. Mix until it is a nice, white fluffy mixture. Fluffy is the word for this batter.<\/p>\n
Remove two cups of the batter in a separate bowl and set aside for the swirl below.<\/p>\n
The Strawberry Swirl:<\/span><\/h3>\nI believe in fresh. This is one of the deviations from the original recipe I took, but it made the cake so much better the second time I made it.<\/p>\n

Take one cup of chopped up strawberries<\/strong> and puree them in your food processer<\/strong> with two tablespoons of sugar<\/strong>. Add the puree to the two cups of batter<\/strong> in the separate bowl and mix together. Add two drops of red food coloring<\/strong> to get it a little pinker so it stands out more in the swirl.<\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\nThe Cake:<\/span><\/h3>\nStart with a layer of the vanilla batter at the bottom of the Bundt pan, next the layer of strawberry batter followed by the rest of the vanilla batter. With a knife, dip it into the pan and swirl it around three times so that the batter swirls slightly.<\/p>\n
Bake at 325 degrees for one hour to one hour and five minutes<\/strong> where it is golden on top.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/palmerscancook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/strawberry-swirl-resting-150x150.jpg\")
<\/p>\n<\/h3>\nThe Topping:<\/span><\/h3>\nSlice up the rest of the quart of strawberries<\/strong> and add 1\/2 cup of sugar<\/strong> and let it sit in a bowl for 15 minutes to marinate.<\/p>\nIn your mixer, mix one stick of softened butter<\/strong> with 1\/2 of heavy cream.<\/strong> Add one cup of powdered sugar <\/strong>and one teaspoon of vanilla.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 20 minutes before flipping on a rack to cool fully for an hour before adding the topping with the strawberries on top. You can also wrap and freeze the cake or put it in the refrigerator overnight and frost later with the topping.<\/p>\n
Enjoy this great summer treat!<\/p>\n
