Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam (preferably homemade)
If you need to substitute, feel free to use almond milk with a tablespoon of vinegar as a buttermilk alternative. You can also swap the fresh strawberries for frozen ones, just be sure to thaw and drain them well.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. Line them with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.
- Add the softened butter and mix on low speed until you achieve a sandy consistency.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and the strawberry jam until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can frost the cake with your favorite lemon or cream cheese frosting. I often use a simple lemon glaze for a lighter finish.
