This creates a sort of sugar crust on top. For the batter a rich combination of eggs, butter, and sour cream serves as the backdrop for the fresh berries. But, the berries are 100% the stars of this show and they infiltrate every luscious bite of this cake.
This is a cake that puts the berries front and center.
Because we’re not using any strawberry flavoring, only real strawberries, there needs to be a lot of them folded into the batter. These fresh berries add a lot of flavor and moisture to the cake, but this second point has one draw back…This cake is best eaten on the first day you make it as the berries can make the cake soggy after a while.
