For the cake: Combine the frozen strawberries, jam, and 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on a medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl halfway through, until light and fluffy, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each one before adding the next. Add the sour cream and vanilla and beat on high speed until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and beat on low speed just to combine, then increase the speed to high and beat just until smooth and light, about ⏱️ 15 seconds.

Transfer to a rack and let cool ⏱️ 10 minutes in the pan, then remove the cake from the pan, transfer to the rack, and let cool completely.
