Sunken Strawberry Cake: Easy Recipe

Ingredients for a cake:

4 eggs (size M)
100g sugar
1 pack vanilla sugar
100 ml sunflower oil
1 pinch of salt
220 g Flour
1 Pck. Vanillepuddingpulver
1 tsp baking powder
400 g fresh strawberries

And this is how it works:

1. First line a springform pan (26 cm diameter) with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees top/bottom heat.

2. Die, dry and remove the greens. Then cut the fruit in half.

3. Mix flour, baking powder and pudding powder. Separate the eggs and beat the whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Beat the oil, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Fold the egg white into the egg-sugar mixture. Then carefully add the flour mixture and fold in.

4. Pour the dough into the springform pan and smooth it out. Spread the strawberries on top. Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. After about 30 minutes, cover the top with aluminum foil so that it doesn't get too dark.

5. Use the chopstick to test whether the cake is cooked. If no dough remains sticking when you insert a wooden skewer, it is ready. Allow the strawberry cake to cool in the tin and dust with powdered sugar to serve.
