  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  • Beat in the egg, followed by vanilla extract.

  • Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.

  • Fold in half of the strawberries into the batter.

  • Pour batter into the prepared pan and top with remaining strawberries. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

 

  • Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen strawberries, but thaw and pat dry first.

  • Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.

 

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
