Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set it aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Eggs

3. In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Once everything is combined, fold in the sour cream. The batter will be thick but creamy.

Step 5: Layer the Fruit Filling

6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Spoon the fruit filling over the top, gently swirling it into the batter. The fruit will bake into the dish, creating pockets of juicy goodness throughout.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with just a few moist crumbs.
8. Once baked, let it cool for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

9. After it has cooled, dust the top with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. Slice it into squares and serve. One slice is never enough—trust me on that!
