  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Cream together the sugar and butter in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.

  3. 3

    Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; stir in vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate into wet ingredients, alternating with milk.

  5. 5

    Fold in strawberries and bacon gently.

  6. 6

    Pour batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top.

  7. 7

    Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's tip

For a modern twist, consider adding a light cream cheese frosting with a hint of maple syrup to complement the smoky bacon.
