0:05
strawberry cake with an amazing fresh
0:07
strawberry syrup that'll make you want
0:08
to lick your plate butter a 9-in spring
0:11
form pan and line the bottom with
0:13
parchment paper then preheat your oven
0:19
we start with the wet ingredients in a
0:21
large mixing bowl combine two large eggs
0:23
and 1 cup of sugar beat that together on
0:26
high speed for about 5 minutes or until
0:28
thick and lightened in color
0:35
now add 1 cup of sour cream half a cup
0:38
of olive oil and a teaspoon of real
0:40
vanilla extract beat together on low
0:43
speed just until combined
0:47
in a medium bowl whisk together 2 cups
0:49
flour 2 tesps baking powder and 1/4
0:52
teaspoon of salt with the mixer on
0:55
medium low speed add the flour to the
0:57
batter one/3 at a time letting it
0:59
incorporate with each addition continue
1:01
mixing just until well combined
1:05
you'll need 12 oz or 3/4 of a pound of
1:08
fresh strawberries for the cake slice
1:11
half of them into halves to use for the
1:12
top and dice the rest for the center of
1:19
pour half of your batter into your
1:21
prepared pan and even out the top
1:28
sprinkle your diced strawberries over
1:34
cover with the remaining batter and
1:36
finally top with your halved
1:38
strawberries pushing them just slightly
1:43
bake in the center of the oven at 375Ā° f
1:47
for 50 minutes or until a toothpick
1:49
inserted into the center comes out clean
1:52
while the cake is baking away let's make
1:54
that easy and luscious strawberry sauce
1:58
in a blender or food processor whirl
2:00
together one pound of strawberries with
2:02
1/4 cup of sugar or add the sugar to
2:07
that's all there is to it but seriously
2:09
you'll want this sauce on everything
2:20
once your cake is out of the oven let it
2:22
rest in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes
2:25
then run a thin spatula or knife around
2:27
the edges to loosen it from the pan
2:31
my kitchen smells so good right now and
2:35
i think this cake looks way prettier
2:37
with some powdered sugar this is
2:39
optional but i do like it so going to
2:41
add some powdered sugar over the top
2:44
generous amount looks good
2:54
get myself a big slice here
2:57
with as many strawberries as possible
3:09
that's what i'm talking about i can
3:12
smell those baked strawberries oh
3:14
there's just nothing like it
3:18
all right and then one last thing and
3:20
that's the strawberry drizzle that syrup
3:23
that we made for the top be generous
3:26
with this this syrup is gold it is so
3:29
good yum this syrup is also really good
3:33
on pancakes or crepes it's the best and
3:37
it's ridiculously easy
3:43
yeah this is going to disappear fast
3:46
it's a really great party cake because
3:48
it's simple comes together quickly very
3:52
minimal effort and it's seriously
4:10
it tastes like the fluffiest muffin and
4:13
a cake put together with all those great
4:16
pops of strawberry flavor and that glaze
4:21
don't even make this cake without it
4:23
well okay the cake's good without it but
4:25
it's amazing with the glaze it has a
4:28
soft and lightly sweetened crumb and
4:30
then that strawberry glaze has a tang
4:33
that balances the cake perfectly it is
