Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • All-purpose flour – 1½ cups

  • Baking powder – 1½ teaspoons

  • Salt – ¼ teaspoon

  • Sugar – 1 cup

Wet Ingredients:

  • Unsalted butter (softened) – ½ cup

  • Eggs – 2

  • Milk – ½ cup

  • Strawberry essence – 1 teaspoon

  • Strawberry puree – ½ cup

For Frosting:

  • Heavy whipping cream – 1 cup

  • Powdered sugar – ½ cup

  • Strawberry essence – ½ teaspoon

  • Finely chopped strawberries – a few

Instructions

1. Prep Work:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  • Grease your cake tin with butter and dust it lightly with flour, or line it with parchment paper.

2. Make the Cake Batter:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy.

  2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

  3. Mix in the milk and strawberry essence.

  4. Stir in the strawberry puree.

  5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet batter and mix until smooth.

3. Bake the Cake:

  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin.

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes at 180°C (350°F), or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

  • Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

4. Make the Frosting:

  • Whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.

  • Add strawberry essence and gently fold in the chopped strawberries.

  • Spread the frosting over the cooled cake.

Tips:

  • If you don’t have fresh strawberry puree, you can use store-bought strawberry crush or jam.

  • Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding frosting.

  • Decorate with fresh strawberry slices or mint leaves for an extra touch!
