Ingredient Notes:

Strawberries. For this cake, only fresh strawberries will work. Frozen berries release too much moisture during baking, which can turn your cake into a mushy mess.
- Flavor Tip. While strawberries are fantastic, feel free to experiment with other fruits! This cake also bakes beautifully with fresh raspberries, cherries, plums, peaches, apricots, or blueberries.
Butter. Use unsalted butter with a fat content of 72% or higher. It’s crucial that your butter is at room temperature – soft enough to cream with sugar, but not melted.
Eggs. I recommend medium-sized eggs, typically weighing around 50-55g each. For the best batter consistency, ensure your eggs are also at room temperature.
Flour. Regular all-purpose flour with about 10% protein is perfect for this recipe.
Sugar. Standard white granulated sugar is what you need. Finer-grained sugar is a bit better, as its crystals will dissolve more quickly and evenly into the batter.
Milk. The fat content of the milk isn’t important here, so use whatever you have on hand.

Let’s start cooking!

Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Beat the butter with regular and vanilla sugar until creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the egg and beat again until smooth.

Add half of the flour mixture and beat. Then, pour in the milk and beat again. Add the remaining flour and beat one last time.

Transfer the batter to a buttered baking pan.

Top with halved strawberries.

Place the pan in an oven preheated to 180°C (355°F) and bake for 35-40 minutes until done. Insert a toothpick to check; it should come out clean.

Remove the cake from the pan, let it cool, and serve.

Enjoy!
