Super fluffy and light filled with the goodness of strawberries. Our homemade Strawberry cake recipe is one of the best you will find this strawberry season
- 6 egg whites
- 100 grams sugar
- 100 grams fresh strawberries
- 60 ml milk
- 6 egg yolks
- 80 ml vegetable oil
- a few drops of red food coloring
- ΒΌ tsp strawberry essence
- 120 grams self-raising flour
Firstly, in a bowl, beat the egg whites along with the sugar until you achieve super stiff peaks. Set aside
After that, in a blender, add the milk and strawberries together and blend. Set aside
In another bowl, combine the egg yolks and vegetable oil. Beat well. Add the strawberry and milk mixture, mix well. Add the red color as required and strawberry essence. Make sure all the ingredients are well combined
Add the self-raising flour to the mixture and whisk well making sure there are no lumps. Once the mixture feels smooth fold in the beaten egg whites a little at a time until all the egg whites have been incorporated into the batter, do not over mix. As a result, the mixture will be smooth with no lumps
Next, place a piece of parchment paper at the base of an 8 inch round cake pan. However, do not put butter or parchment paper for the sides of the dish
After that, pour the cake batter into the cake pan, tap the pan to remove extra air bubbles and avoid cracking, place in an oven tray filled with warm water and bake at 170 degrees C for 55-60 mins. As a result, the top center of the cake should feel firm and bouncy when touched
Then, remove from the oven. Let cool for 10 mins, pass a knife through the edges to loosen it up, tilt and remove the butter paper from the base. Serve with loads of strawberries along
Do not insert a skewer or toothpick in the center of the cake to check if baked, this will deflate the cake
