Ingredients

Servings

• 2 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Butter, softened
• 1 ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated sugar
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup Strawberry puree
• ¹⁄₄ cup Tequila
• ¹⁄₄ cup Lime juice
• 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup Strawberries, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the strawberry puree, tequila, and lime juice. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Once the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze by whisking together the confectioners' sugar and enough lime juice to make a pourable consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.
8. Garnish with sliced strawberries before serving.
