Strawberry Soya Milk Cake Makes: One 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf tin Total cost per cake: $4.84 What you need: 125g cold salted butter, cubed 110g fine caster sugar 3 large eggs (between 55g to 62g), separate whites and yolks in two bowls 120g self-raising flour 60ml soya milk (I used Drinkho- you can use any brand) 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 125g strawberries, cut into small pieces (set aside 4 strawberries and slice each into half) Steps: Preheat oven to 160C. Lightly grease a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf tin and line with baking paper. In your stand mixer, beat egg whites til frothy (about 3 minutes). Add in the sugar and beat on high speed until stiff peaks and glossy. When done, keep in fridge til later use. Beat butter til pale and creamy, then add the egg yolks, one by one (about 30 seconds before adding the next one), plus the vanilla essence. Sift the flour. Add in two additions, followed by the 60ml soya milk. Scrape down the sides as you beat to combine. Add the whipped egg whites and fold in til combined. Dust the cut strawberry pieces with a bit of flour first before folding them into the batter. Pour the batter into your prepared tin and decorate the top with sliced strawberries. Bake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool before eating, but I never do.
