Enjoy this delicious strawberry coffee cake at your next family gathering, party or any occasion where you want to impress with this moist and flavorful strawberry coffee cake.
Make this strawberry coffee cake ahead of time so that you can just sit back and relax when it comes to share and see how much everyone enjoy this tasty treat. You'll want to make it only with fresh strawberries in my opinion so that it doesn't get mushy and nothing beats the taste when it is made with fresh strawberries. It's served at room temperature and is the perfect accompaniment to any hot or cold beverage. I like it with iced tea or yes coffee too but truly this strawberry coffee cake really does go with anything and will soon become a favorite with family and friends.
I love a good coffee cake but I wanted something that was a little more summer-yand what better way to make it so than to add some fresh season fruit like strawberries. This strawberry coffee cake did not disappoint and it certainly did not last with my family. I didn't want a heavy icing or topping on it so we kept it light with a drizzled icing if you will. If you really want you can add lemon extract or some lemon juice to the icing to make it a strawberry coffee cake with lemon icing drizzle. It's a yummy choice too!
Now are you ready to find out how to make this yummy strawberry coffee cake?

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time1 hour
Ingredients
Strawberry Sauce:
- 32 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Coffee Cake:
- 1 cup shortening
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
Strawberry Sauce:
In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until the berries break down, crushing them gently with a wooden spoon while they cook, around 10 minutes. Strain mixture through a sieve and discard pulp. Let cool.
Coffee Cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and sugar a 12.5 cup capacity bundt pan and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the shortening and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, around 5 minutes.
Add the milk and beat on low until incorporated.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to the wet and beat at medium speed until just combined and smooth. Do not overmix.
Scoop a few cups of batter into the bundt pan, then drizzle with ½ cup of the strawberry sauce. Add another layer of batter, followed by another ½ cup of strawberry sauce. Add remaining batter and gently smooth out. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into thecenterof the cake comes out mostly clean. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes before inverting and removing from pan. Allowto coolcompletely.
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the top of the coffee cake and enjoy!

Made this for my granddaughters birthday, and it looks & smells amazing!!
I used 1/2 cup shortening and 1/2 cup of butter in place of the 1 cup of shortening.
For the glaze, I added grated lemon peel along with a small amount of lemon juice, milk and vanilla.
Wish I could post a picture of the cake!!

I have never tried making a strawberry coffee cake but it seems and looks amazing! My only concern is the cup of shortening. I have on occasion subbed it in whole or part with unsweetened applesauce in baking recipes so I think I will likely do this with this recipe. Thanks for sharing.

This looks like a good recipe and I just bought four pounds of strawberries yesterday and was looking at different strawberry uses. I've got all the ingredients except for one - shortening. I've never cooked with it before because I thought it was supposed to be really bad for you...or is it one of the fats that are ok now? Already I've switched from oleo to butter, from veg oil to walnut oil...things change so much about what's good and bad for you, I can't keep up. I want to try this so I'll google a shortening substitute so I don't have to make another trip to the store.
