Eggless Strawberry cake recipe

By swasthi , on February 12, 2020, 3 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Eggless strawberry cake recipe – Soft, spongy, moist and delicious strawberry cake made without eggs. A strawberry cake is usually made by adding the fruit puree & pink color to the batter. I had baked it that way a few times. Somehow the cake wasn’t appealing without the food color. This time I made a simple cake batter and then topped with sliced strawberries.

It came out very delicious,moist & soft. The sweet flavor was amazing due to the sugar sprinkled strawberries.

I adapted this topping idea from Martha Stewart’s Strawberry cake. But the recipe had eggs in it, so for the batter I followed this Eggless Tutti frutti cake recipe.

To make this eggless strawberry cake, you don’t need a mixer. Just mix up the wet ingredients and then the dry to it. This cake can be made vegan by replacing the full fat milk with vegan milk and melted butter with oil.

Preparation

1. Here are the ingredients needed. Bring milk to room temperature or warm. Melt the butter. You can also use oil. You can do all in one bowl in the microwave.

2. Wash and wipe dry strawberries. Slice them and set aside.

3. Grease a 7 or 8 inch cake tray. Line it with butter paper or dust some flour evenly.

6. Add in vanilla extract or strawberry extract. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.

7. Place a sieve over the bowl. Add flour. Here is the correct way to measure the flour in case you do not have a weighing scale. Fluff up the flour in the jar. Spoon it to the measuring cup. Level it with a spatula.

8. Add baking powder, baking soda and salt.

9. Give a light mix.

10. Sieve half of the flour. Mix just until combined.

11. Sieve the rest of the flour.

12. Mix until just combined. Do not over mix. The batter is slightly thick but of pouring consistency.

13. Pour this to the greased tray. Tap it to the counter a few times.

14. Place the strawberries gently covering the top. Avoid placing them towards the extreme end. Sprinkle sugar.

15. Bake this for 10 mins at 180 C. Later at 170 C for 20 to 25 mins. I baked it for a total of 40 mins as I wanted the cake top to be crusty. To have a moist cake top, check the cake after 30 mins. Tester comes out clean when the cake is baked.

16. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove it to a wire rack.
