  • Gradually incorporate the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until a homogenous batter is achieved.
  • Gently fold the 200g of diced strawberries into the batter using a silicone spatula to prevent maceration.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a probe inserted into the center emerges clean.
  • While the cake is baking, combine the halved strawberries, 50g sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat.

  • Allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before slicing and topping with the strawberry sauce.
