Strawberry Cake
- 450 g strawberries (stems removed)
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cane sugar*
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda

Instructions
Making the Cake Batter
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Start by pureeing fresh strawberries in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the strawberry puree and the remaining wet ingredients. Gently fold into the flour mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix the cake batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between two round cake pans lined with parchment paper (or oiled).
- Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting.
- Allow the cake to cool fully before frosting.
Making Vegan Frosting
- Whip room temperature vegan butter in a stand mixer with a small amount of oat milk until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing until smooth. Add strawberry extract and a few drops of red food coloring if desired. Continue mixing until the frosting is creamy and evenly colored.
- That's it! Enjoy!
