How does the sourdough work, I've never heard of a sourdough cake before - is it yeast-risen instead of using leaveners like baking powder, does it have a sour taste, how old is the sourdough?
It does have baking powder and baking soda in it. The cake does in not taste sour, there is a subtle tang to it but that is mostly masked by the strawberrry purée. I made this with sourdough discard about 24 hours after feeding, I usually feed mine once a day unless its in the refrigerator.

Looks delicious, though, well done!
