Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, halved
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk or Yogurt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Sumac
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Cream softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla and milk or yogurt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sumac.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Arrange halved strawberries cut-side down over the surface and lightly press in.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is golden.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Dust with extra sugar and sumac before serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
  • Toss strawberries in a bit of flour to prevent sinking.
  • Parchment paper in the pan helps with easy removal.
  • Let cake cool completely before slicing to keep it moist.
