Strawberry and White Chocolate Bundt Cake

Strawberries and white chocolate work so well together , so why not make this delicious Strawberry and White Chocolate Bundt Cake for yourself.

This pretty Strawberry and White Chocolate Bundt Cake is easy to make and contains a hidden jammy swirl inside. Perfect to serve alongside a cuppa and a chat with friends or family. 

Despite the fact that it is January and to be fair a strawberry cake is more of a summer bake, this is perfect to make outside of strawberry season because it contains jam and freeze dried strawberries rather than the fresh variety. 

While I chose to make this cake in a bundt tin, equally it would work well in a regular cake tin. I just like the shape that a bundt tin cake has.

Mind you, it is probably time I expanded my bundt tin collection seeing as I on key have one, and I have featured it quite a few times on my blog now!

The jammy swirl inside the cake adds an extra touch of sweetness and burst of strawberry flavour as you cut in to each slice

 

I actually made this cake a few months ago, possibly even towards the end of last summer and I forgot all about it, until I was going through my draft blog posts last week and found it lurking among some unfinished posts.  Just as well I did because I have not baked anything new for the blog since before Christmas! 

Anyway, while I get my cake thinking hat on for new recipes to feature on my blog, you can get the recipe for this cake here.

  1. It’s such a delicious looking cake Jenny and perfect for all of us who are dreaming about the Summer in January! I do love the fact that you’ve used strawberry jam and dried freezer strawberries here for a little taste of Summer and the combination with white chocolate is an absolute winner! 🙂 x
