Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Gently crush the dehydrated strawberries in the bag and set aside.
- Grease a 9x13" pan with cooking spray or oil. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on both long sides. Grease parchment with oil. Sprinkle with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar, tilting pan to coat in an even layer (I used a baking stone pan as pictured, so I did not use the parchment paper).
- Whisk flour, 1 cup sugar, cornmeal, salt, baking powder, baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk eggs, egg yolks, sour cream, zest from both lemons, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and whisk gently to combine. Using a spatula, gradually fold in oil until batter is smooth and oil is incorporated (or use a mixer with paddle). Fold in the crushed, dehydrated strawberries.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange sliced, fresh strawberries on top of batter to cover. Sprinkle all over with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar.
- Bake cake until risen and deeply golden, 45-50 minutes. Check that tester inserted in center comes out clean, no damp spots. Dust with some powdered sugar if you like, this is optional. Let cool before slicing.
