This recipe calls for all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, unsalted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. These are all common pantry staples that you probably already have on hand. Additionally, you'll need fresh strawberries for both the cake and the topping.
To make the strawberry sauce, you'll need fresh strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. This simple sauce adds a burst of flavor to the cake and is a great way to use up any extra strawberries you may have.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually add in the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined. Fold in the diced strawberries and pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan.
Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, make the strawberry sauce by combining the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have softened and the sauce has thickened. Set aside to cool.
Once the cake and sauce have cooled, it's time to assemble your masterpiece. Drizzle the strawberry sauce over the top of the cake. You can also add some fresh sliced strawberries as a garnish for an extra pop of color. Serve and enjoy!
This fresh strawberry cake is a perfect combination of sweet and tangy flavors. The juicy strawberries add a burst of freshness to every bite, making it an ideal dessert for any time of year. So, the next time you're in the mood for a delicious and easy dessert, give this recipe a try and indulge in the taste of India with every bite!
