Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 14 oz fresh strawberries halved or quartered

Method
 

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a cake pan.
    Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
      Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in vanilla.
        In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
          Add dry ingredients to wet mixture in batches, alternating with buttermilk and sour cream.
            Pour batter into pan and spread evenly.
              Arrange strawberries on top without pressing them in too much.
                Bake for 35–45 minutes until lightly golden and set. Cool before slicing.

                  Notes

                  Store in fridge for up to 3 days. Don’t overload with strawberries to avoid excess moisture. Let cake cool fully before cutting.
