Servings: persons

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 cup 2 Tbsp sugar
1 teaspoon salt
4 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Zest from 1 lemon
1 1/3 cups cup flour
1 pint strawberries, leaves removed, very large berries cut in half
Whipped cream for serving (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9-inch round cake pan (I used a springform pan for easier removal, but a regular cake pan will work great here too.
2
With a standing bowl mixer or handheld beaters, beat together the butter, sugar, and salt until very light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until incorporated (note: the batter might look slightly curdled at this point, but no worries, it will still turn out delicious!)
4
Add the vanilla, lemon juice and zest and mix until combined. Add the flour and continue to mix until flour is incorporated and you have a thick batter.
5
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Arrange the strawberries in a single layer on the top, pressing the berries slightly into the batter.
6
Bake cake at 325 until cake is cooked through, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Cool cake slightly before cutting and serving with a dollop of whipped cream.
