Strawberry French Cake
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (16 ounce) package fresh strawberries, stemmed and halved
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to lubricate an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray.
3
Using your electric mixer, combine 1 cup of sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Continue to blend until the mixture is pale, fluffy, and light in texture, taking about 5-7 minutes to accomplish.
4
Add eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Beat well after each addition to prevent any potential lumps or unevenness.
5
Introduce a hint of vanilla flavor by whisking it into the mixture until fully incorporated.
6
To create the cake's foundation, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream and ending with the flour mixture. Continue blending until just combined after each addition.
7
Gently fold in fresh strawberries to add a pop of color and flavor.
8
Spread the cake batter evenly into the prepared 8-inch round cake pan. Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over the top, covering the entire surface.
9
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, taking approximately 40-50 minutes to achieve.
10
Finally, allow the cake to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
