Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp baking soda
- 0.5 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
- 1.5 cups fresh strawberries finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until they are well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until it is creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix on low speed just until the batter is smooth with no streaks of flour. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries with a spatula until they are evenly distributed.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
