🍓 Strawberry Milk Sourdough Donut Cake (8x8 Pan)

1.0

Yield

1 thick 8x8 cake (9–12 squares)

Ingredients

Cake

½ cup (120g) sourdough discard (unfed is perfect)

¾ cup (180g) strawberry milk

⅓ cup (70g) granulated sugar

¼ cup (55g) brown sugar

1 large egg

¼ cup (60g) neutral oil (or melted butter for more “donut” flavor)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

Strawberry Crunch (Optional but Highly Recommended)

½ cup freeze-dried strawberries (crushed)

2 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp melted butter

¼ cup flour

Strawberry Glaze

1 cup (120g) powdered sugar

2–3 tbsp strawberry milk

½ tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prep

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)

Line an 8x8 pan with parchment or grease well

2. Make the Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together:

sourdough discard

strawberry milk

granulated sugar + brown sugar

egg

oil (or melted butter)

vanilla

In a separate bowl, whisk:

flour

baking powder

baking soda

salt

Fold dry ingredients into wet until just combined.

(Do not overmix—this keeps it soft and tender)

3. Make the Strawberry Crunch (Optional)

Mix all ingredients until crumbly.

Fold half into the batter

Reserve the rest for topping

4. Bake

Pour batter into prepared pan

Sprinkle remaining crunch evenly on top

Bake 35–42 minutes

✅ Done when:

Toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs

Center springs back lightly when touched

Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then lift out.

5. Glaze (Donut Style!)

Whisk glaze until smooth and pourable.

Pour half over warm cake → soaks in

Let cake cool 10–15 more minutes

Pour remaining glaze on top

Pro Tips

Maximum strawberry flavor: Add extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries into the batter

Classic donut vibe: Use melted butter + add a tiny pinch of nutmeg

Bakery finish: Let glaze set fully before slicing

Extra indulgent: Dip each square top into glaze instead of pouring

Optional Add-Ons

White chocolate drizzle

Cream cheese glaze swap

Fresh strawberries for serving

Storage

Room temp (covered): 2 days

Fridge: up to 5 days

Freezer: up to 2 months (best unglazed)
