Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1/2 cup plant-based (plant-based) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup plant-based (plant-based) milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and puree fresh strawberries until smooth. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan thoroughly with plant-based (plant-based) butter to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the plant-based (plant-based) butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This step helps incorporate air for a soft cake texture.
- Incorporate Strawberry Puree and Milk: Slowly add the pureed fresh strawberries, plant-based (plant-based) milk, pure vanilla extract (natural), and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to the butter mixture. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, natural gelling agent, and baking powder to evenly distribute the rising and binding agents.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Gently: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet batter, taking care not to overmix. This preserves airiness while preventing a tough cake.
- Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the crumb tender.
- Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid before pureeing.
- Measure flour by spooning and leveling to avoid a dense cake.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing to set the texture and flavors.
