Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz. strawberries hulled, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 cup plus 3 Tbsp. sugar divided
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil plus more for pan
  • cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup fine-grind cornmeal
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp plus a pinch Kosher salt divided
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ½ cup Greek Yogurt
  • Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ cup strawberry jam

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Gently toss strawberries, 1 Tbsp. sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Let sit, stirring occasionally, until ready to use.
  • Grease a 13x9" pan with oil. Line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 long sides. Grease parchment with oil.
  • Whisk flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, 1 cup sugar, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk eggs, egg yolks, greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and whisk gently to combine. Using a spatula, gradually fold in ¾ cup oil until batter is smooth and all of the oil is incorporated.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Using a small spoon, dollop jam onto surface. Using a butter knife or small offset spatula, gently swirl jam into batter. Arrange reserved strawberries on top of batter in even rows, touching at widest points.
  • Bake cake until risen and deeply bronzed with no damp spots in the middle and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 40–45 minutes.
