Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry French Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray to ensure your cake releases effortlessly.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sugar with softened butter, using an electric mixer to whip them together until the mixture transforms into a pale, fluffy delight—this should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Introduce the eggs one at a time, making sure to blend well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until it melds seamlessly into the batter.
Step 4
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the buttery blend, alternating with the sour cream, starting and finishing with the flour mixture.
Step 6
Mix gently until just combined, then fold in the halved strawberries with care, preserving their shape.
Step 7
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly, and finish by sprinkling the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar on top for a sweet crust.
Step 8
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Step 9
Once your cake is baked to perfection, let it cool completely on a wire rack, filling your kitchen with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goodness.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful journey of flavors in every slice!.
