Baking with Strawberries
We love strawberries and when these juicy pretty berries are in season (especially in India for short time), we enjoy the fruit to the fullest in every possible way.
You can add roughly chopped strawberries to the cake batter, but I like to cook a bit of the pieces, not completely like the strawberry crush but just enough that the juices come out. You can follow whichever way you like, the cake will come out moist bursting with the flavor of berries.
While adding berries pieces, remember not to add large chunks as the fruit will sink down to bottom. Also, dust berry pieces in a tbsp of flour.

You can also add strawberries in desserts like Custard or Trifle or serve with ice creams or just topped simply with whipped cream.
Ingredients to make Eggless Strawberry Multigrain Cake
Multigrain Flour- The cake is made with Multigrain Atta/Flour that is available at all the leading Indian Grocery stores. You can also use Whole Wheat Flour here. I have used Aashirvaad Multigrain Atta/Flour.
Almond Meal/Flour- I have also added Almond meal (homemade as I ran out of Almond Flour), this makes the cake very soft and gives a beautiful crumb.
When using Almond meal add a tbsp of cornstarch(available as Cornflour in India)to make it light and airy.
Incase you do not want to use the Multigrain flour or Whole Wheat Flour, go ahead with All Purpose flour(APF), just lower the amount of liquid a bit as we need less liquid to make the batter with APF. Preferably, use unbleached All Purpose.
Yogurt- Makes the cake soft and moist.
Buttermilk - Make buttermilk with milk and apple cider vinegar. Please note, this buttermilk is not Chass as used in Indian cuisine. It is made with milk and vinegar and used as egg replacer in baking.
For Vegan Friendly Cake, use any plant based milk like Almond/Soy/Cashew Milk. This acts as egg replacer here and also makes the cake soft and moist.
While making Buttermilk, just add the vinegar to milk and let it stand for about 5-10 mins. Do not stir or mix it. Also, if you can substitute juice of half lemon in place of vinegar.
Other ingredients- Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Sugar( I used Raw Sugar, pls checkout Notes section in recipe card), Strawberry Essence, Orange Marmalade, Olive Oil.
Orange Marmalade(pls checkout Notes section in recipe card) adds a subtle Orange flavor here. You can skip it or add finely chopped Orange peel. Or add Orange/Lemon zest , this adds a wonderful citrusy flavor to this berry cake. Not shown in i the pic below.
What is the difference between Almond Meal and Almond Flour
Almond Meal is different from Almond Flour, both are not the same.
- Almond Meal is made with raw almonds(with peels to fine powder) and Flour is made with balanced and peeled Almonds.
- Flour has a lighter texture than Meal due the absence of the peel particles.

How to make Eggless Strawberry Multigrain Cake
Made with readily available ingredients at home, you can whip up the cake batter within minutes. Just mix dry ingredients with wet ingredients, transfer the batter to dusted/lined cake tin with parchment paper, and bake in preheated oven.
I baked this cake in 8" round cheesecake tin. You can bake in your normal 8" cake tin or 2 6" cake pan.
To make Strawberry Muffins
The batter will give you about 8-10 muffins of medium size. To make muffins bake for about 15-20 mins for 350°F or 180°C, in preheated oven.
Detailed steps in Recipe card.
Tips to get perfect moist and soft cake
- Do not overbeat the batter once you add flour. You will get dense cake. Mix lightly with cut and fold method.
- Cake batter should be of muffin/quick bread consistency as strawberry leave water while baking. Cake can remain uncooked from inside.
- Don't open the oven door while the cake is baking. Check only after 30 mins. Insert a tooth pick in center. If sticky batter comes on toothpick, cover the tin with aluminum foil, and bake for another 10 mins.
- After 40 mins if still there is batter on the toothpick and the top starts to brown, cover the tin with an aluminum foil and then bake for another 10 mins.
- Leave the cake on countertop or cooling rack and cut only it completely cools down.

Notes
- For Vegan Friendly version use any plant based milk and yogurt.
- Use Almond Flour in place of Almond Meal.
- You can use APF (All Purpose Flour) in place of Whole Wheat/Multigrain flour and Almond Meal. Or, use flours in any ratio. Total amount of flour used in recipe should be 2 Cups.
- Cornflour/Cornstarch(in US) make dense flours like Whole Wheat Flour/ or Multigrain Flour or Almond meal light and airy. Skip it when using APF.
- Add orange peels if you do not have orange marmalade. Adding peels is also optional. You can use a tsp of lemon zest.
- Keep the consistency of batter just like muffin batter. As strawberries give away water while baking, cake and remain under baked.
- To make Strawberry Muffins- The batter will give you about 8-10 muffins of medium size. To make muffins bake for about 15-20 mins for 350°F or 180°C, in pre-heated oven.

Strawberry cake with almond flour and multigrain flour sounds so very nutritious ! I can imagine the flavors coming from orange marmalade amd strawberry compote. Adding cornstarch definitely makes the bakes with dense flours light and fluffy !
Swati
Thanks Poonam!!
