Steps
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, cream together the room temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the sour cream until fully incorporated; this provides moisture and a slight tang to the cake.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Place the fresh strawberries on top of the batter, pressing them in slightly.
Pop the pan into the oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The author emphasizes using sour cream as a 'sacred ingredient' for moisture. For best results, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature to prevent the batter from breaking.
