Add half the dry ingredients and mix on the lowest speed, just until combined. Scrape down the bowl.

Add the sour cream and continue mixing on the lowest speed just until combined.

Add the rest of the dry ingredients, again mixing on the lowest speed. Stop when a few streaks of flour remain and scrape down the bowl.

Gently fold the strawberry pieces into the cake batter.

Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out with just a few crumbs on it.
