Method

• Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and line an 8 inch round cake tin with butter paper.

• Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then blend them into a smooth puree. Keep it aside.

• In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda. This step helps create a soft sponge texture.

• In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and creamy.

• Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

• Add vanilla essence.

• Now add the dry ingredients gradually, alternating with milk and strawberry puree.

• Mix gently until the batter is smooth.

• Avoid over-mixing, as it can make the cake dense.

• Pour the batter into the prepared tin and level the top.

• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.

• Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the tin.

Preparing the Frosting

• Beat butter until creamy.

• Add icing sugar gradually and continue beating until smooth.

• Mix in strawberry puree and vanilla essence.

• Beat until the frosting becomes light and spreadable.

• Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.

• You can decorate with fresh strawberry slices on top for a beautiful finish.
