Ingredients:

2 Cups All purpose flour
2 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Sour cream
1/2 cup Oil
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/4 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking powder
1 Bowl Strawberries

Method:

• First butter the pan and preheat the oven to 375 F. In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together 2 eggs with 1 cup sugar on high speed for 5 minutes or until light in color and thick.

• Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup oil, 1 tsp vanilla extract and beat on low speed until well combined.

• In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt until well incorporated. With the mixer on medium to low speed add flour mixture to the batter into 3 batches letting the flour incorporate with each addition and continue mixing just until well combined.

• Pour half of the batter into prepared pan. Top with half of diced strawberries 

• Then spread remaining batter over the top. Cover the surface with remaining half of the halved strawberries pressing them down just slightly into the batter.

• Bake at 375 F for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean 
• Let cake rest in pan 10-15 minutes then run a thin spatula around edges to loosen from pan. Cool until just warm or at room temperature.

• Enjoy with some Sauce or cream or just plain.

Notes:

To measure flour correctly spoon flour into a dry ingredients measuring cup and scrape off the top with a straight edge.
