Strawberry Bundt Cake

The good thing about this cake is you can use any type of fruits you have handy or you like ( peaches, apricots, plums, raspberries, pears etc.)

I serve it dusted with confectioner sugar, but if you like and have the time can use cream cheese frosting to top it with.
The options are endless here and that's why i like recipes like this :).

Ingredients:

3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon almond extract
2/3 cup ground almonds
1 fresh strawberries

1/4 cup confectioners sugar to decorate the cake

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325F/160C. Grease  a bundt cake pan.

Sift together the flour and baking powder. Set aside. Washed and slice the strawberries.
Beat well the softened butter and sugar until well combined and cream like. Add the eggs, one at a time. Beat well and add the flour with baking powder and the almond extract. Stir in the ground almonds and the strawberries.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 mins, or until risen and golden brown,
Let cool in the pan for 10 mins, then turn out carefully onto a wire rack to complete the cooling.
Take a confectioner sugar and dust over the cake.

Enjoy!
