Eggless Butterless Strawberry Cake

Wheat Flour - 1.5 cup
Fresh Strawberry - 15-20 nos:
Milk - 3/4 cup

Sieve together wheat flour and baking soda and keep aside.
In a bowl add milk, oil and sugar and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Add crushed strawberry and mix well
Add the flour little by little and gently mix.
Pour the prepared batter to the baking pan and bake for 35-40 mins: (check the cake by inserting a tooth pick; if it comes out clean, the cake is ready otherwise bake for 5-10 mins:).
Allow the cake to cool don for 10 mins:
Invert the cake to wire rack and allow to cool down completely.

Icing Method

Beat the whipping cream till it is thick and double in volume.
Spread the cream evenly on the top and sides of the cake with a spatula.
Decorate the cake with fresh strawberry as desired.

Important Icing Tips:

Refrigerate the bowl and blades of the beater for about 10 mins: before beating the cream.
In a large bowl, take some ice cubes and beat the cream by keeping the beating bowl over the ice cubes.

Slice the egg-less butter-less Strawberry Cake and enjoy.
