Looking for the perfect bundt cake? Try this Strawberry Swirl Bundt Cake - a moist vanilla cake with a strawberry swirl inside, topped with fresh berries and beautiful buttercream flowers! This recipe calls for 2-3 cups of prepared buttercream frosting. You won’t use all of this, but if you want an assortment of colors, you’ll need enough frosting to provide that variety, and will have some left over for another use. You can use any fairly stiff homemade frosting you have on hand—my favorite is this Easiest Swiss Meringue Buttercream recipe.  Prep Time 1 hour  Cook Time 1 hour  Total Time 2 hours  Servings 16  Calories 365 kcal  Author Elizabeth LaBau Ingredients For the Bundt Cake: 14 oz granulated sugar (2 cups) 8 oz unsalted butter at room temperature (2 sticks) ¾ tsp baking powder ¾ tsp salt 5 large eggs at room temperature 11.25 oz all-purpose flour (2.5 cups) 1 TBSP vanilla extract 8 oz sour cream (1 cup) 4 oz strawberry pu...
