Strawberry Cake

It’s a super quick and easy recipe.

Ingredients

Cake

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup  sugar
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup olive or vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 12 oz strawberries, hulled
• Powdered sugar to dust the top, optional

Sauce

• 16 oz strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1/4 cup  granulated sugar

Step 1:

Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375˚F.

Prepare 12 oz of strawberries for the cake: dice 6 oz of strawberries and slice the second 6 oz into halves.

Step 2:

Beat the 2 eggs together with 1 cup sugar on high speed until light in color and thick.

Add 1 cup sour cream, ½ cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla and beat on low speed until well combined.

Step 3:

Combine in a separate bowl all the dry ingredients and mix them well. Then add them bit by bit to the batter and mix them well under.

Step 4:

Pour half of the batter into  pan and top with 6 oz of diced strawberries, then spread remaining batter over the top. Cover the surface with 6 oz of halved strawberries, cut-side-down, pressing them down just slightly into the batter. Bake at 375˚F for 45-55 minutes.

Step 5: Sauce

Combine 16 oz strawberries and ¼ cup sugar (or add sugar to taste) and blend until pureed.
