We’re in peak strawberry season, right? Let’s take advantage of it!

I made this cake using blended strawberries in the batter and some chopped ones inside. I added lemon zest because I think it’s a great combo.

The result? A moist, dense cake with amazing flavor!

Cooking Instructions

1hour 15min
  1. 1

    Prepare the strawberries: Hull and chop about 1 cup of strawberries. Place them in a bowl and add the 3/4 cup of vegetable oil.

  2. 2

    Add cream and eggs: Measure the 2/3 cup of heavy cream, add to the bowl. Crack in the 3 eggs.

  3. 3

    Blend: Use an immersion blender or regular blender to blend everything together until smooth.

  4. 4

    Add sugar: Measure 1 cup of sugar and mix it in using a whisk or fork.

  5. 5

    Mix flour: Measure 2 cups of all-purpose flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt. This enhances the flavor of the cake.

  6. 6

    Sift and combine: Use a strainer to sift the flour mixture into the wet mix gradually, stirring as you go.

  7. 7

    Add zest and more strawberries: Zest 1 lemon into the mix. Also, chop 2–3 strawberries and stir them in.

  8. 8

    Mix gently: Use a spatula to gently fold in the chopped strawberries, so they don’t break apart. Prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Preheat your oven.

  9. 9

    Bake: To check doneness, pierce the center with a toothpick when it looks ready. Don’t open the oven too early or it might deflate. Once it looks golden and has risen, you can check it!

    Slice and enjoy! Here’s a photo of the sliced cake for inspiration.
