Strawberry Snacking Cake

Name: Strawberry Snacking Cake
Cuisine: European
Ingredients: 8 oz. strawberries, hulled, thinly sliced lengthwise; 1 cup plus 3 Tbsp. sugar, divided, plus more for pan; Kosher salt; ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan; 1½ cups (180 g) all-purpose flour; ½ cup (60 g) fine-grind cornmeal; ½ tsp. baking powder; ½ tsp. baking soda; 3 large eggs; 2 large egg yolks; ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. sour cream; Finely grated zest of 2 lemons; 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice; 2 tsp. vanilla extract; ½ cup strawberry jam (preferably Bonne Maman)

Instructions

Don’t be surprised at how quickly this olive oil and cornmeal-enriched sheet cake will disappear. The strawberry flavor comes from a swirl of jam and a pretty layer of sliced berries on top. Because the strawberries will shrink and sink a bit during baking, make sure they’re placed shoulder to shoulder on top of the batter.
