### 👩🍳 How to Make It
#### 1. **Preheat & Prep**
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or a bundt pan. Set aside.
#### 2. **Cream Butter & Sugar**
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
#### 3. **Combine Dry Ingredients**
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream. Mix until just combined.
#### 4. **Add Fruit**
Gently fold in the drained crushed pineapple and floured strawberries. The flour helps prevent the berries from sinking.
#### 5. **Bake**
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for **60–70 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
