Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk

Additional:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for tossing strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the dry ingredients and milk, alternating between the two.
  5. Prepare Strawberries: Toss chopped strawberries with flour, then fold into the batter.
  6. Bake: Divide batter between pans and bake for 25–30 minutes. Let cool before frosting.

Notes

  • For extra strawberry flavor, consider adding a layer of strawberry jam between the cake layers.
  • Keep the chopped strawberries dry to prevent excess moisture in the cake.
