Augusta’s Strawberry Bundt Cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze

Chloe’s favorite things at the moment are strawberries and flowers and that’s what she asked for on her cake this year. My mom delivered with this Strawberry Bundt Cake with a Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze. The cream cheese glaze is nice because it is thick and has a wonderful weight to it where it doesn’t just fall off the cake. If you like cream cheese icing, which is definitely my preference, then you will really love this glaze, it’s gooey deliciousness.

My mom is known for her cakes and she was nice enough to share this recipe with me for you guys, so enjoy!
