Why you will love this recipe:

• SUMMER FLAVOUR | If there’s one flavour synonymous with summer it’s strawberries and this recipe is packed full of sweet seasonal strawberries so you’ll be enjoying a mouthful in every bite.

• NO MESS ONE BOWL BAKING | Baking is fun, but the mess can be off putting which is why this recipe is so ideal as you only need one bowl to whisk it all together. The Tala Cooking Yellow Stoneware Mixing Bowl is the perfect sized bowl to house all ingredients without any spilling.

• PERFECT FOR PICNICS | There’s nothing better on a picnic than fresh cake and this sturdy cake can be perfectly transported to any location once baked.

Ingredients:

To make this simple one bowl strawberry cake you will need:

Grab yourself a Tala Cook’s Measure for easy measuring in every bake.

• Strawberries | use good quality fresh strawberries that have been washed well. You’ll need 500g to be exact! Some goes in the cake, some go on top.

• Caster Sugar | Provides sweetness that works well to enhance the flavour of the strawberries and helps to create a tender crumb. 

• Vegetable Oil | Adds moisture and helps create a soft and tender sponge.

• Eggs | use the best-quality eggs you can find and make sure they are at room temperature. Eggs provide this cake with structure and richness. This recipe uses 2 large eggs.

• Lemon | adds good flavour balance to the cake and pairs really well with strawberries.

• Buttermilk | adds moisture and gives the cake a light and soft crumb. The acid in buttermilk activates the baking powder which helps the cake rise and keeps in the moisture.

• Vanilla | added to the sponge mixture to compliment the flavours

• Plain flour | sift your flour into the mixture for best results and to avoid lumps

• Baking powder | works in partnership with the buttermilk to give the cake a fluffy rise.

• Salt | balances and enhances all the flavours

• Icing Sugar | a light dusting is all you need to finish the cake off

How to make buttermilk:

Buttermilk is a great ingredient for making light and tender cakes but it’s not always something you have readily available in your fridge. Luckily it’s incredibly simple to make at home with just TWO ingredients that you will more than likely have to hand and it takes less than 10 minutes.

All you need is Milk and Lemon Juice (or vinegar). Either work but in this recipe we have used lemon juice.

• Simple measure out the quantity of buttermilk you need in milk (i.e this recipe needs 200ml of buttermilk so you would measure out 200ml milk)

• Squeeze 1 tbsp of lemon juice into the milk and stir it together

• Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until thickened then whisk it together until again smooth.

• It will be a bit lumpy so don’t worry if it looks like it’s curdled

• Leave to one side or in the fridge (if you’ve made ahead) until you’re ready to use it.
