Strawberry Cake

Ingredients:

•  3 to 4 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
•  11/4 cups plain flour
•  1/4 tsp salt 
•  1/4 tsp vanilla extract/vanilla essence
•  1/2 cup sugar + 1 tsp for dusting strawberries
•  2 1/2tsp baking powder
•  1/2 cup milk
•  1 cup fresh strawberries chopped
•  a few drops of lemon juice

  

Method:

•  Sprinkle 1 tsp sugar and lemon juice on chopped strawberries and keep aside. This will make them a little moist and juicy.
• Sift together the baking powder, salt and flour.
• Whisk the butter and sugar to creamy texture. Then add a little flour to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix it and then add a little milk and mix.
• Add all the flour and milk little by little stirring to avoid lumps formation throughout.
• Finally, fold in the strawberries to the batter using a spatula. Grease and dust baking pan with butter & a little flour to prevent cake from sticking. Bake in a 375 degrees F preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool before cutting pieces.
