Ingredients
Scale
- 150 grams (6 ounces), hulled and cut into fours, Strawberries
- 6 tbsp (85 gms) Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Buttermilk
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 tbsp. Extra sugar

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degree C and grease and dust a baking pan
- Bring all ingredients to room temperature. Lightly cream butter with hand mixer. Add in the sugar.
- Cream again for 1 min.
- Add egg and cream or beat again for 2 min.
- Add vanilla, you can see after 2 min of creaming, the batter has become fluffy and creamy.
- Add flour and baking powder.
- Pour in the buttermilk, reserve 2 tbsp, otherwise, if you pour it all the batter might become a bit loose or runny. For this cake we need thick/dense batter, so add the rest of the butter milk accordingly.
- Cream for a minute and add the reserved buttermilk if needed. The batter should be a bit dense/thick otherwise, the strawberries will sink in once it starts to bake.
- Scoop into the prepared baking pan and level the top with a spatula.
- Place the berries gently cut side down.
- And sprinkle 1 tbsp of sugar on top. Bake for 50-60 min at 180 degree c (350F) or until a tooth pick when inserted comes out clean and crust is golden. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
- After it has cooled, dust with powdered sugar.
