- In a medium bowl, mix the strawberries with ¼-cup sugar; cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Strain the berries through a fine-mesh sieve set over a small bowl; reserve the syrup for serving.
- In a food processor, pulse the macerated berries until finely chopped.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F with a rack in the center.
- Generously butter a 12-cup bundt pan, and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat the ¾-cup butter with 1-cup sugar at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce the speed to low, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just incorporated; scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Beat in the 1/3-cup sour cream, juice, and vanilla, then beat in the chopped strawberries.
- Beat in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Transfer to a rack, and let cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Invert the cake onto a cooling rack, and then set the rack on the baking sheet.
- In a small saucepan, bring the honey, 1-tablespoon butter, and water to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until the honey is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
- Using a wooden skewer, gently poke holes all over the cake; the more holes, the more the honey mixture will penetrate every last bite of the cake.
- Slowly pour the honey syrup over the top, letting it get absorbed before adding more.
- Let the cake cool completely.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, beat the heavy cream and 1-cup sour cream until soft peaks form.
- Slice the cake, and serve with the sour whipped cream, strawberry syrup, and additional fresh strawberries.
