When strawberry season rolls around, you have to make a strawberry and sour cream Bundt cake. The sour cream makes for a deliciously moist cake that goes so well with fresh strawberries.
A soft and delicious Bundt cake with bits of strawberries is such a perfect dessert. This cake has the perfect pound cake texture with a lovely strawberry and cream flavor.
It’s sweet, but not too sweet and the fresh berries are as good as you’d imagine. It is a perfect way to celebrate an abundant berry harvest!
I originally shared this recipe back in 2017. I had baked it in a heart shaped pan for Valentine’s day.
Our little strawberry patch is putting out a ton of berries lately. We eat plenty right off the plant, but we needed to do more to use them.
So Little Dude and I got busy. We made some simple 4 ingredient strawberry sherbet.

We still had plenty of fresh berries left, so we wanted to bake something to go with it. We went to my collection of strawberry recipes and this cake jumped out at us.
This cake was every bit as impressive this time around. The crumb is so soft, it is perfect for eating on its own.
The sour cream and lemon juice add great balance to the flavor on top of contributing to the fabulous texture.
Plus the batter comes together really easily. It is ready for the oven in no time at all.
Storage
Cakes are usually best stored at room temperature. Cover the cake and store on the counter for up to 4 days.
If you use a cream cheese frosting or another topping that requires refrigeration, cover tightly and store in the fridge.

OMG, girl that looks incredible! Not that I don't love a dense heavy triple chocolate cake, cause I do. But this looks so delish, lighter, and I can almost call it healthy, right? LOL
I love your bundt pans, so many cool shapes and sizes, really love the look of this one!
Definitely healthy. I mean fruit, dairy… ummmm, fruit and dairy! I do love a rich chocolate cake too (I know, surprisingly!) but I do really like a delicate cake like this too. Really, I try not to discriminate against any cake 😉
