120 g sour cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 -
3 large eggs
07 -
200 g sugar
08 -
170 g salted butter (soft works best)

# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Once the loaf is totally cold, cut it up and dig in. That soft bite with the sweet berry pieces is the best.
02 -
After it’s cooled a bit, gently lift the loaf out and pop it on the rack to finish cooling off.
03 -
Pull it from the oven and let it sit in the pan for about 10 minutes.
04 -
Slide it into the middle of the oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. You want a toothpick coming out pretty clean when you check.
05 -
Move the mix into the ready loaf pan and even out the top with your spatula.
06 -
Now pour in the milk, stir gently to keep things smooth and thick, not runny.
07 -
Softly mix your sugared strawberries into the batter. Try not to squish them.
08 -
Mix your chopped strawberries with a spoonful of sugar in a small bowl. Set aside for a bit so they get juicy.
09 -
Toss the flour mix in with the rest in three rounds. Switch between flour and sour cream. Start and end with flour. Go easy—mix just enough each time.
10 -
Drop in the vanilla now and blend it through so the smell goes everywhere.
11 -
Crack in the eggs one by one, giving it a good mix after you add each one.
12 -
Toss softened butter and sugar into a big bowl. Use your mixer on medium for around 2-3 minutes, till it looks pale and fluffy.
13 -
In a separate bowl, mix salt, baking soda, baking powder, and flour together. Set that aside for now.
14 -
Butter up your 23 x 13 cm loaf pan and toss in some flour too. Make sure you cover the whole inside, so nothing sticks later.
15 -
Crank the oven to 175°C (350°F) and let it warm up.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Want even more strawberry vibes? Try tossing in a teaspoon of lemon zest.
02 -
Coating all your berry pieces with sugar first helps them stay put instead of dropping to the bottom.
03 -
Cake getting dark too soon? Throw some foil over the top partway through.
04 -
You’re after a thick but soft batter. Don’t stir too hard or too long. That way it comes out tender.
05 -
Drizzle a quick glaze of milk and powdered sugar on top when it’s cool if you want.
