  6. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt
  7. With the mixer on low, slowly add in cake flour mix, mixing until all of the flour is incorporated. Finally, remove the bowl from the mixer stand and fold in the strawberries with a rubber spatula
  8. Grease a bundt pan and pour in the batter, smoothing the top so it is flat
  9. Bake for 1 hour 10-20 or until a toothpick comes out clean
