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.
