Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 and 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 and 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, puréed and strained
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, strawberry purée, and jam.
  4. Gradually fold in dry ingredients alternately with milk until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly into the pans and smooth the tops.
  6. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  8. Frost with your favorite strawberry or cream cheese frosting before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for best flavor.
  • Ensure the butter is softened for easy creaming.
  • Adjust powdered sugar in frosting to your desired sweetness.
