Combine butter and sugar in a bowl, creaming until light and fluffy (approximately 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed)
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition
Stir in vanilla
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt
Add flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing after each addition until just combined
Combine jam and strawberries in a separate bowl.
Grease and flour your bundt pan
Spoon 1/3 of batter into the bundt pan, spreading out evenly.
Dollop half of the strawberry mixture. Try to keep it in the middle of the batter, away from the sides of the pan, if possible. This will just make the cake look neater when you take it out of the pan. (Do as I say, not as I do! đ)
Repeat these two layers and finish with a layer of batter. Smooth the batter out.
Bake for 55-60 minutes. Start testing at 50 minutes with a cake tester or skewer.
Let stand for 10 minutes on a rack before turning over to remove from pan.
Notes
You can put your cold eggs into a glass of hot water to help slowly warm them up.
