1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
-
2
Into a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and the salt.
-
3
Add the cream cheese and 2 tablespoons chilled butter.
-
4
Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the cream cheese and butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse cornmeal.
-
5
Break the egg into a measuring cup, and beat lightly with a fork.
-
6
Add enough milk to make 3/4 cup.
-
7
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture, and stir.
-
8
Knead the dough inside the bowl just until it is blended and cohesive, about 20 seconds.
-
9
Shape half of the dough into a flattened ball, and place in a greased 8 round cake pan.
-
10
Pat the dough flat to the edges of the pan.
-
11
Brush the top of the dough with the melted butter.
-
12
Shape the remaining dough into a flattened ball, and place in the pan on the buttered dough, patting flat to the edges.
-
13
Bake until golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes.
-
14
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
-
15
Place the sliced strawberries in a mixing bowl, add sugar to taste, and mix well.
-
16
Place the sour cream in a small bowl, and add sugar to taste, mixing to blend well.
-
17
To serve, remove the cake from the pan, and use a knife to help pry the layers apart; they should split naturally where the dough had been buttered.

18
Place the bottom layer on a serving plate, and top with sweetened strawberries.
-
19
Place the second layer over the strawberries, and top with sweetened sour cream.
