Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup refined sugar
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon natural strawberry extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pan and Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a loaf or bundt pan to prevent sticking. Chop fresh strawberries into small pieces and set aside. Measure all dry and wet ingredients to have them ready for mixing.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder (natural), and natural gelling agent until evenly combined. This ensures even leavening and consistent texture throughout the cake.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the plant-based butter with the refined sugar until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air to create a light crumb in the cake.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Slowly mix in the plant-based milk, natural strawberry extract, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the butter and sugar mixture. Stir until smooth and creamy, forming the milkshake-like base that enhances the cake’s moistness.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, taking care not to overmix. Gently fold in the chopped fresh strawberries to distribute fruit pockets evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake Until Golden: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cake should have a golden top and moist interior.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This ensures each slice holds its perfect form and texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature plant-based butter and milk for better mixing and texture.
- Fold ingredients just until combined to prevent a dense or tough cake.
- Fresh strawberries are preferred for optimal flavor and texture without excess moisture.
- Begin checking for doneness at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Cool cake fully before slicing to enhance flavor and texture.
