Ingredients

Choose ripe, slightly soft strawberries for the best natural sweetness and color.

For 2 people: simply halve all ingredients.
For more than 4: double everything evenly for larger batches.

Instructions

Step 1: Preparation
Struggling with cakes sticking or uneven texture? Start by greasing a baking pan and lightly dusting it with flour. Preheat your oven to 180°C. Wash and chop strawberries into small pieces so they mix smoothly into the batter later.

Step 2: Main Cooking Process
Worried about lumps in your batter? In a bowl, beat butter and sugar until soft and creamy. Add eggs one by one, mixing gently. Pour in milk and vanilla, then slowly add flour, baking powder, and baking soda until smooth.

Step 3: Combining Ingredients
Not sure when to add fruit without ruining texture? Fold the chopped strawberries gently into the batter. Do not overmix, just enough to spread them evenly. For smaller portions, reduce strawberries slightly to keep the cake balanced.

Step 4: Finishing & Final Simmer
Concerned about undercooked centers? Pour batter into the pan and bake for about 30–35 minutes until the top looks golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool before slicing so the texture sets properly.

Why This Recipe Works for Busy Days

Short on time but still want something homemade? This cake comes together with simple steps and no complicated tools. You can prepare it ahead and store it for later, which makes it perfect for busy routines. It’s also easy to double the batch if you know guests are coming.

Serving Suggestions

With Whipped Cream
Want a soft and creamy dessert feel? Serve slices with fresh whipped cream on top. It balances the light sweetness of the cake beautifully. For smaller servings, just add a small spoon of cream per slice.

Tea Time Treat
Need something simple with tea? This cake pairs perfectly with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Cut into small squares if serving fewer people, or larger slices for gatherings. It’s easy to adjust portions without extra effort.

Layered Dessert Idea
Thinking of making it look fancy? Slice the cake and layer with cream and extra strawberries. This works great when serving more than 4 people, as you can stretch the cake into more servings visually.

Chilled Dessert Style
Want a refreshing twist? Chill the cake slightly before serving. The texture becomes firmer and more refreshing, especially in warm weather. For small batches, chill for less time so it doesn’t dry out.
