For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning the recipe. This helps the batter emulsify properly and creates a more even texture. Muddling the strawberries releases their juices and intensifies their flavor throughout the cake. Be gentle when folding them into the batter to avoid overmixing. If you don't have vanilla sugar, you can make your own by combining granulated sugar with a vanilla bean pod in a sealed container for a few days, or by adding a few drops of vanilla extract to regular sugar. To prevent the cake from sticking, you can also dust the greased pan with powdered sugar instead of flour.
