Strawberries are in season. Maltese taste best! So sweet that in this recipe I use only 100g to have a delicious jammy sauce at the bottom of this cake! Serve with mascarpone cheese, clotted cream or vanilla ice cream.
600g fresh strawberries hulled
125g butter
225g sugar
275g self raising flour
3 eggs
150g plain yoghurt
1/2 cup milk
few drops vanilla flavour
1 orange
icing sugar for dusting
Roughly chop the strawberries and place them in an oven proof dish. Sprinkle with 100g of sugar then squeeze the juice of one orange.
Heat the oven to 180c.
In a food mixer, beat butter and sugar till pale and fluffy, add eggs one at a time, then add yoghurt and milk. Add flour and vanilla essence and beat for 1 minute.
Pour cake mixture on strawberries and even out with a spatula.
Bake for 30-40 minutes until top is golden and skewer comes out clean. Dust with icing sugar and serve warm.
