Fresh Strawberry Tea Cake
This is a traditional tea cake recipe and makes great use of fresh strawberries – you can also use raspberries, blueberries or a combination. You could dust with powdered sugar or make a simple glaze, but I think it’s perfectly fine on its own.

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar

3 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Sift together 3 cups flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl; set aside

3. Scrape batter into greased and floured 12-cup bundt pan. Bake in center of 350-degree oven until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.
4. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes, then unmold cake onto rack to cool completely.
