Grease and line a large (900 g) loaf tin.
Cream the sugar into the butter until it is very soft.
180 g caster sugar (superfine sugar), 180 g butter
Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
4 medium eggs
Add the strawberry cordial (if using) and stir in.
4 tbsp strawberry cordial
Next, sift in the flour and fold it in.
200 g self-raising flour
Add the chopped strawberries and mix them in so they are well distributed.
3 large strawberries
Pour the mixture into the lined loaf tin.
Bake at 180℃ / 350℉ for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. Use a cake tester or skewer to check the centre is cooked as the added cordial makes a runnier mixture than usual. Cover the top with foil if it is getting too dark.
Leave the loaf to cool completely.
When ready to decorate the cooled cake, slice some strawberries and place them on top. Then melt the white chocolate and use a piping bag to drizzle it over the cake from side to side.
2-3 large strawberries, 100 g white chocolate
Finish with a scattering of strawberry chocolate curls or your preferred decoration.
