- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temp
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract (optional)

- 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a loaf or bundt pan.
- Cream together unsalted butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually combine with the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream.
- Toss chopped strawberries in flour to prevent sinking, then fold into the batter.
- Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Blend or mash fresh strawberries until smooth to create puree.
- Mix 2 tablespoons of strawberry puree with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Gradually add more puree until you reach your desired consistency.
- Optionally, add a tiny drop of food coloring for an eye-catching pink glaze.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, pour the strawberry glaze generously over it.
