Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan and dust it with flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese, and sugar for 3 to 4 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low just until the yellow disappears. Do not overmix.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add to the mixing bowl in two additions, alternating with the sour cream. Mix on low until just combined.
  5. Fold in the vanilla, lemon zest, well-drained pineapple, and chopped strawberries gently.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 70 to 85 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely before glazing.
Glazing
  1. Whisk the glaze ingredients together to a thick pourable consistency.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

This cake tastes even better the next day as the flavors develop. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence. Storing cake tends to enhance its flavors.
