My niece who is an excellent cook made this amazingly delicious cake for the July 4 barbecue party. Her almost four-year-old son helped in this. The result was velvety textured cake with the freshness of strawberries.
The cake was so yummy that guests asked for second helpings. The best part is you can put all the ingredients in the food processor and let it work to a perfect cake batter. Other than baking time, this cake can be made in a jiffy.
Ingredients:
Butter 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp, white flour 1 1/2 cups, baking powder 1 1/2 tsp, salt 1/2 tsp, sugar 1 1/4 cups, eggs 2 small or 1 big, milk 1/2 cup, vanilla essence 1 tsp, strawberries 1pound washed and halved.
Method:
Sift white flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a nine inch pie plate and keep it aside.
Put butter and one cup of sugar in a food processor bowl and mix it on a high speed till fluffy and creamy. It should not take more than 4 or 5 minutes. Reduce speed to medium and mix in eggs, vanilla and milk.
Reduce speed to low and gradually mix in flour mixture. Once done pour this mixture on the buttered pie plate and arrange the strawberries on the batter. Place the cut side of strawberries down. Try putting them very close to each other.
Bake cake for one hour and ten minutes on 325 degrees F. When last 15 minutes are left for baking, bring the cake out and sprinkle rest of the sugar on the fruit and cake.
If you like the caramelized look you may sprinkle the sugar before you start to bake.
