Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Strawberry Cake:
    • 2 large eggs, room temperature
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • 1/2 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour, measured correctly
    • 2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp salt
    • 12 oz strawberries, hulled
    • 1 tsp powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • For the Strawberry Sauce:
    • 16 oz strawberries, hulled and halved
    • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, or to taste

Instructions

  1. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Hull 12 oz strawberries. Dice 6 oz into small pieces and slice 6 oz into halves. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs with 1 cup sugar on high speed for 5 minutes until light and thick.
  4. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla, and beat on low speed until combined.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add to batter in three additions, mixing just until combined.
  6. Pour half the batter into the pan, top with diced strawberries, then add remaining batter. Arrange halved strawberries on top, pressing slightly.
  7. Bake at 375°F for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to a platter.
  8. For the sauce, blend 16 oz strawberries with 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Adjust sugar to taste.
  9. Dust cake with powdered sugar if desired. Serve slices with strawberry sauce.

Notes

  • Measure flour correctly by spooning into the cup and leveling off.
  • The sauce can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
  • My family loves this cake for summer picnics—it’s a crowd-pleaser!
