One bowl strawberry cake is rich, decadent, and super delicious. I make it up a few times a year and, believe me, my family and friends love it. It is also very easy to make. It is great in the fall when strawberries are in season.
As with any recipe, there are a few alterations you can make. To begin with, you do not have to be strawberries as any kind berry will compliment the batter. I have also used blueberries or blackberries in the cake and it turns out wonderful.
Be sure to use a good brand of sour cream and vegetable oil. I have used cheaper brands and they tend to throw the taste off. Cheaper items are not always the best
I have noted other recipes that bake the cake is baked on a higher temperature such as 375 F. This is not advisable as it will dry out the cake or even burn it. You want it to bake it at 350 F or 177 C for about an hour or an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
If a thicker cake is desired, double the recipe and put a couple of extra layers of strawberries in. I have tried this and it comes out super delicious.
