How to Make Strawberries and Cream Cake

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: whipping cream

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a distinct flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cake flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, combine egg whites and vinegar or lemon juice and whip until soft peaks form.

Gradually add granulated sugar to the egg whites while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

In another bowl, mix egg yolks, oil, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Fold the dry ingredients into the egg yolk mixture, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites.

Pour the batter into prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Whip the whipping cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Slice the fresh strawberries and set aside for filling.
