Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cup Plant Milk (350ml)
  • 10 ounces Fresh Strawberries *must be fresh (280g)
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (10ml)
  • 3½ cup All Purpose Flour (440g)
  • 1¼ cup Granulated Sugar (250g)
  • 6 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 18 Tbs Vegetable Oil (270ml)
  • 1 Drop Pink Food Color *see notes

For the Strawberry Buttercream:

For the Strawberry Compote:

  • 10 ounces Fresh or Frozen Strawberries (280g)
  • ¼ cup Cranberries *optional see notes (30g)
  • 4 Tbs Sugar *optional adjust to your taste
  • 6 For the garnish: fresh strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F & Grease & parchment line 2-8" cake pans
  • First wash the strawberries in warm water, then take out their stems
  • Place all of the cake ingredients including the fresh strawberries into a food processor & process until smooth batter (about 15 seconds)
  • Pour batter evenly between the prepared 8" cake pans & bake at 350°F for 15 minutes then I like to turn the oven temperature down to 300°F for another 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean & the cake is springy to the touch when I gently press the center
  • While the cake is baking prepare the strawberry compote by cooking the strawberries with the optional cranberries & sugar in a small sauce pot over medium to high heat.
  • Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low & simmer until the berries break down and the sauce starts to thicken (it will thicken more upon refrigeration) cooking for about 20 minutes total
  • *If you use fresh strawberries for the compote you will have to add about 2-3 Tablespoons of water to help them cook down & avoid scorching whereas frozen has a large amount of moisture already & the berries will break down much faster
  • Next prepare the buttercream recipe as per the instructions on that recipe post & add the freeze dried strawberry powder at the last stage of mixing
  • Assemble the cake as shown in the video
