### Instructions

1. **Preheat & Prepare**
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan (or bundt pan, if you’re feeling fancy).

2. **Cream the Butter & Sugar**
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy — about 3–4 minutes.

3. **Add the Eggs & Vanilla**
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

4. **Mix the Dry Ingredients**
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

5. **Combine**
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.

6. **Fold in the Strawberries**
Toss the chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking. Gently fold them into the batter.

7. **Bake**
Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool for 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

8. **Glaze & Serve**
Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake. Slice, serve, and enjoy every sweet bite.

### Tips for Success

– Use **room temperature ingredients** for the smoothest batter.
– Don’t overmix once the flour is added — this keeps the cake tender.
– Try **mixing in white chocolate chips or a swirl of strawberry jam** for a fun variation.
