Ingredients

• 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened

• 3 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup (120ml) milk

• 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, halved

• Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat and prep the pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (or 9×9-inch) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

2. Cream the butter and sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

3. Add wet ingredients

Mix in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and milk. Stir until well combined.

4. Incorporate dry ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until a smooth batter forms.

5. Assemble the cake

Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan. Arrange a layer of halved strawberries (cut side down), then pour the remaining batter on top. Add a second layer of strawberries on the surface.

6. Bake

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.

7. Cool and serve

Allow the cake to cool in the pan, then slice into bars. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips

• Use room temperature eggs and butter for a smoother batter.

• Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for variation.

• Best enjoyed within 2 days for ultimate freshness.
