Ingredients:

  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cups granulated sugar, more for garnish
  • 2 extra-large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound strawberries, sliced

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 9 inch spring form pan.

In a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and then vanilla bean paste.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together sour cream and heavy cream. Add to the stand mixer and mix until combined.

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Gently add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, adding a little at a time until fully incorporated.

Fold in the strawberries  and then spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with sugar on top. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until you can insert a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.

Let cake cool for about 30 minutes, then remove from pan and transfer to a cooling rack to let it cool completely, about 30 minutes more.
