Step 3

 Add the strawberries and stir so the berries are fully coated and add the vanilla; set aside.

Prepare cake:

Step 4

Mix the egg, half the sour cream, and vanilla together in a medium bowl; set aside.

Step 5

Mix the flour, Domino® Golden Sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in the mixer.

Step 6

Add the remaining sour cream and butter to the flour and mix until just combined.

Step 7

Slowly add egg mixture and mix until just combined.

Step 8

Spread the strawberries in an even layer in the prepared skillet, do not worry about arranging them in a pattern as long as they touch the edges of the pan.

Step 9

Drop the batter onto the strawberries, then gently spread evenly.

Step 10

Bake for 35 - 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Allow to cool one minute, then run a knife around the edges and flip the pan over onto a plate to release the cake.

Additional Tip:

You can replace the vanilla extract in the strawberries with fresh vanilla beans for an even more delicious pop of flavor.

Adding lemon zest to either the strawberries or batter will also brighten the cake wonderfully!
