  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

For the Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant strawberry pudding mix
  • 2 tsp strawberry extract
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Pink or red food coloring (optional, for swirl effect)

For the Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3–4 tbsp strawberry milk (or regular milk + 2 tbsp strawberry syrup)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter, Oil, and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
  3. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition to achieve a smooth batter.
  4. Add Flavorings and Milk: Stir in the instant strawberry pudding mix, strawberry extract, vanilla extract, and whole milk, blending well to combine all flavors evenly.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  6. Divide Batter: Split the batter evenly into two separate bowls to create two portions.
  7. Tint One Portion: Add pink or red food coloring to one bowl of batter, mixing well until you achieve the desired swirl color.
  8. Create Swirl Effect: Alternate spoonfuls of the plain and pink batter into the prepared bundt pan to form a beautiful swirl pattern.
  9. Bake: Place the bundt pan in the oven and bake for 60–70 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—it should come out clean.
  10. Cool Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry milk (or milk and strawberry syrup), and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
  12. Glaze the Cake: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best batter consistency.
  • You can substitute the strawberry pudding mix with homemade strawberry gelatin if preferred.
  • If you don’t have strawberry milk, mix regular milk with strawberry syrup to taste.
  • The swirl effect is optional but adds a lovely visual appeal to the cake.
  • Use a toothpick test to ensure the cake is fully baked; baking times may vary based on your oven.
