Here’s a moist, fragrant, and naturally sweet Strawberry Honey Cake recipe that’s simple to make:
🍓 Strawberry Honey Cake
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120 ml) honey
- ½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil or melted butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Add-ins:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (or frozen, thawed and drained)
- Optional: 2 tbsp strawberry puree for extra flavor
Optional Topping:
- Powdered sugar, whipped cream, or extra honey drizzle
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan.
- Mix wet ingredients
- In a bowl, whisk honey, oil, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine dry ingredients
- In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Make the batter
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients.
- Gently fold in chopped strawberries (or strawberry puree).
- Bake
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool & serve
- Let the cake cool for 10–15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with extra honey if desired.
🌟 Tips
- For extra strawberry flavor, macerate strawberries in a teaspoon of honey before folding into the batter.
- You can make this a layered cake by doubling the recipe and adding whipped cream between layers.
- Almond flour or whole wheat flour can be substituted for a healthier version.
If you want, I can also give a “quick 20-minute version” of strawberry honey cake that uses a skillet or loaf pan—no fancy baking skills required.
Do you want me to share that version?
