Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 150 g granulated sugar (3/4 cup)
- 80 ml vegetable oil (1/3 cup)
- 120 g plain yogurt (1/2 cup)
- 120 ml milk (1/2 cup)
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 200 g all-purpose flour (1 2/3 cup)
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups (500 ml) chilled heavy or all purpose cream
- 40 g icing sugar (for the whipped cream)
- 1 tsp vanilla (for the whipped cream)
- 100-150 g fresh strawberries (diced)
- 2 tbsp high quality strawberry jam
Instructions
- (beat on high using a stand or hand mixer for a couple of minutes until doubled in size)
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until foamy. Then add the granulated sugar, whisk for 1 - 2 minutes more.
- Then add the vegetable oil, vanilla, and yogurt. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the egg-sugar mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Making sure everything is incorporated before adding the next one. (Flour, Milk, Flour, Milk, Flour)
- This batter is runny and thats okay (that's why it's super moissst!)
- Pour the batter to 2 pcs 6inch cake pans greased and lined with parchment or baking paper. Bake at 350F (180C) for 28-35 mins or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes then transfer to a wite rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled completely, slice each layer in half horizontally to create four layers. This step is optional—feel free to keep it as a two-layer cake if you prefer.
- It’s time to assemble! Spread whipped cream over each cake layer, followed by a generous layer of strawberries. Repeat the process until all layers are stacked. Finish with more fresh strawberries on top, if you’d like.
Tip: Chilling the dough deepens the flavour and stops the spread — worth the wait.
