Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and dice fresh strawberries. Toss them gently with lemon juice to enhance flavor and prevent browning. Set aside to macerate.
  2. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the plant-based butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy to incorporate air for cake texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the plant-based milk and natural vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent. Gradually fold into the wet mixture to form a thick, glossy batter.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter, distributing evenly without breaking the fruit excessively.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, smooth the top, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and better rise.
  • Do not overmix; fold ingredients gently to prevent a tough texture.
  • Fresh strawberries provide juiciness and brightness crucial to flavor.
  • Measure flour with the spoon-and-level method to avoid a dense cake.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
