Strawberry Cake
This Strawberry Cake features a tender crumb with slices of fresh strawberries arranged on top before baking. The batter includes butter, flour, sugar, buttermilk, egg, and vanilla, providing a moist base with a light rise from baking powder. Turbinado sugar sprinkled over the strawberries creates a slight caramelized crust. The cake is baked in a springform pan and served with whipped cream and extra strawberries for a classic fruity dessert.
