| 40 minutes |
Ingredients
1 cup (160 g) fresh strawberries
0.25 cup vegetable oil
0.67 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1.5 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder- 0.5 tsp salt
- some vegan strawberry frosting
- some vanilla frosting
some chocolate ganache
Cookware
- 1 baking dish
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 large mixing bowl
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper. This recipe will make one 8x8-inch square, one 9-inch circle, or two 6-inch rounds (adjust if altering batch size).
Step 2
Make strawberry purée by blending fresh strawberries (160 g) until smooth.
Step 3
To a large mixing bowl, add strawberry purée, vegetable oil, sugar, and vanilla. Whisk to combine.
Step 4
Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated with no lumps remaining. The texture should be thick, like cornbread batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish, spread into an even layer, and bake on the center rack for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The center of the cake should be firm but springy when touched and the edges slightly golden brown.
Step 6
Let your cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully turning it out onto a cooling rack.
Step 7
Once your cake is completely cool, you can top it with vegan strawberry frosting, vanilla frosting, or a chocolate ganache!
Step 8
Best enjoyed the first day but will last, covered, at room temperature up to 3 days. Freeze up to 1 month (then thaw at room temperature).
