Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cups strawberries, chopped
- 3/4 cups mangoes, chopped
Instructions
- Prehat oven to 325 degrees and place rack in middle position. Butter and flour 10-inch tube pan. Set aside.
- Combine your flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl and whisk together. Set aside two tablespoons of the flour mixture for later in the recipe.
- Add butter and granulated sugar to a stand mixer or to a large bowl using a hand mixer on medium speed and beat until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Once all eggs have been added you will add the vanilla extract and beat until well combined.
- Add one third of your flour mixture to your butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Add half of the sour cream at this point and also mix until just combined. Don't overmix. Then you'll alternate another third flour, the remaining sour cream and the last third flour.
- Add chopped berries and mangoes to a medium bowl and toss with the reserved two tablespoons of flour. This will help the fruit not sink to the bottom of your cake. Fold the fruit into your cake batter until well distributed. Add the batter to your prepared pan. Spread the batter evenly and smooth the top with a rubber or offset spatula.
- Bake until the cake is lightly browned on top and a tester comes out clean, about one hour, 15 minutes. Let the cake cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before running a knife around the edges and inverting onto the wire rack. Let fully cool for one hour before placing on a cake plate. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired. Serve with fresh whipped cream and more fresh fruit.
Notes
This cake freeze really nicely. Just cut into slices and add to a Ziploc freezer bag. Remove a slice when you want to enjoy and let it come to room temperature. You an also quickly defrost on defrost setting of your microwave.
