03 - In a large bowl, whip the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
05 - Alternately add the dry mixture and sour cream into the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
06 - Gently fold in the chopped strawberries using a spatula.
07 - Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top with sugar.
08 - Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
09 - Let the cake cool before serving. The cake will easily release from the pan if you wish to transfer it to a plate for display.
