An Eggless Strawberry Buttermilk Cake And The Winners Of The GiveawayAre……
It is rather hot these days, but I’m not complaining. This summer has been a lot more comfortable than the last one which was pretty bad. For the past 2 days, even though the sun has been beating down, there’s been this wonderful breeze that keeps blowing in from across the river throughout the day.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 50 gm butter , softened
- 1/2 cup sugar Demerara (or brown )
- 1 1/2 tbsps sugar granulated
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 3/4 cup strawberries fresh , chopped
Instructions
- Put the butter and the Demerara sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed, for about 2 minutes till pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla and beat well.
- Whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix into the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, in 2 batches with the mixer on low speed till combined. Do not over-mix.
- Scrape the batter into a greased and floured 8u201d cake pan, smoothing the top with a spoon. Scatter the strawberry pieces evenly over top. Uniformly sprinkle the 1 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar over this.
- Bake at 200C (400F) for about 30 minutes or so, until cake is golden and a wooden pick inserted into centre comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in pan for about 10 minutes, then unmould and cool on a rack. Serve.
Notes
Strawberries also star in this Eggless Strawberry Cake (another version) and these Strawberry Muffins of mine.
