How to prepare creamed cake with strawberries
To make creamed cake with strawberries, begin by preparing the crumb topping. In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the crumb topping. Knead them by hand until they form a crumbly texture.
Next, wash 11 ounces of strawberries. Cut half into small pieces and halve the rest. In a large bowl, beat 3 eggs with sugar and a tablespoon of vanilla sugar until fluffy. Add the oil and milk while mixing. Gradually incorporate the all-purpose flour mixed with the baking powder. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Prepare a baking pan by greasing it with butter, then transfer the batter into it. Arrange the strawberry halves on top and sprinkle with the prepared crumb topping. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and bake the cake for about 40-45 minutes, or until it turns golden. To check if the cake is ready, insert a skewer—if it comes out clean, the cake is baked. After baking, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool.
How to store strawberry cake
To keep creamed cake with strawberries fresh and tasty, store it in an airtight container or cover it if you plan to keep it at room temperature for 2-3 days.
If you want to store it longer, wrap the cake in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent drying out and absorbing odors. Remember to take the cake out of the refrigerator about an hour before serving to bring it back to room temperature and enhance its texture. This method will help the cake retain its moisture and flavor for a longer period.
