Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 1 cup plant-based dairy (milk or yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
Flavorings and Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 teaspoon natural strawberry flavoring
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
- Cream the Plant-Based Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the plant-based butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy to create a tender crumb.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the plant-based dairy, natural vanilla extract, apple cider vinegar, and strawberry puree gently to combine, avoiding overmixing.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and natural gelling agent in a separate bowl. Slowly fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until evenly blended.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased and lightly floured loaf pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure all wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Fold wet and dry ingredients gently to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and color.
- Start checking the cake doneness at 50 minutes due to oven variations.
- Cool the cake fully before slicing to help it set and prevent crumbling.
