Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and hulled
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural strawberry extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by washing and hulling your fresh strawberries. Pulse them in a blender to create a smooth strawberry puree. Next, bring all other ingredients to room temperature for even mixing and a flawless batter.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: Using a stand mixer or hand beaters, cream the plant-based butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is essential as it incorporates air to help the cake rise beautifully.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the strawberry puree, plant-based milk, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), natural strawberry extract, and vanilla extract (natural), blending until smooth and combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and natural gelling agent to ensure there are no lumps and everything is evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix here to keep the cake tender and airy.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased and lined loaf pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before slicing.

- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve the best texture.
