Ingredients

  • 8oz sweet butter
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 11/2 cup flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch salt
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 2 cups strawberries
  • 9 inch cake pan

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Line the bottom of a 9 inch cake pan and spray with nonstick spray.
  3. Using a mixer cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Next mix in the eggs once at a time. Then add the vanilla.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Fold in ⅓ of the flour then ½ the sour cream. Then ⅓ of the flour and the other half of sour cream.
  7. Finally fold in the last ⅓ of flour. Try not to over mix. Fold until incorporated only.
  8. Lastly, cut the strawberries and fold in the batter. I like to quarter my strawberries, not slice. So I have more of a bite.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and level.
  10. Place in the oven and bake for about 50 minutes.
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool before taking out of the pan.
  12. Sprinkle it with powdered sugar and serve with fresh whipped cream.
