Hi.. I was kind of bored of preparing white & brown cakes... thought of going for colors.. My nephew loves strawberry cake.. so thought of trying strawberry sponge.

Ingredients:

Flour - 1 cup
Butter - 100 gms
Eggs - 2
Sugar - 1 cup (powdered)
Baking Powder - 1 tsp
Strawberry Essence - 1 tsp
Vanilla Essence - 1/2 tsp
Pink Color (edible) - 1 pinch
Milk - 1/3 cup

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven at 175 deg. Sieve the flour & baking powder twice. Line the baking tin with butter & dust with flour
2. Cream Butter & Sugar till it is light & creamy
3. Separately beat Eggs till it is light & fluffy along with Strawberry essence & Vanilla essence
4. Add eggs to butter & sugar mix.
5. Add Sieved flour & baking powder to it & mix it in cut-fold method. Add the Pink Color.
6. Add milk to loosen the mix. Pour it in the lined tin
7. Bake it for 35 to 40 mins till toothpick comes out clean

Tips:

• You can grind & add real strawberry puree to the cake mix to get real strawberry sponge
