Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for tossing strawberries

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Mix in the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Do not overmix.
  • In a small bowl, toss diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon flour. Gently fold them into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 65-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

This cake tastes best the next day once the flavors have melded together. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
