Fragrant, moist, and delicious!
If you’re looking for a simple, sweet treat that feels homemade without the hassle, this strawberry cake is it. It’s made entirely in a blender—yes, really—so there’s no need for a mixer or multiple bowls. Just toss in the ingredients, blend, and bake. The result is a soft, moist cake with the natural sweetness and bright flavor of fresh strawberries in every bite.
This is the kind of cake that’s perfect for spring and summer gatherings, afternoon coffee breaks, or even a not-too-sweet breakfast. It has a light crumb, golden top, and a subtle fruity flavor that pairs beautifully with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. And since it’s all made in the blender, clean-up is a breeze.
Ingredients You’ll Need
(See the full recipe below for exact measurements)
- Fresh strawberries (chopped)
- All-purpose flour
- Sugar
- Eggs
- Baking powder
- Vegetable oil
- Vanilla extract
- Orange zest (optional, but lovely for extra flavor)



Tips
- Make sure your strawberries are ripe for the best flavor.
- You can cut off the green tops before blending, but you can also leave them on, they’re edible and won’t affect the taste once blended.
- Add the flour and baking powder gradually and gently mix with a spatula — this helps avoid overworking the batter and keeps the cake soft.
- A touch of orange or lemon zest brightens the flavor beautifully.
- Let it cool completely before slicing so the texture sets
Storage
Once the cake has cooled, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If your kitchen is very warm or humid, it’s better to refrigerate it, where it will stay fresh for about 4–5 days. The texture may firm up slightly in the fridge, but a quick 10-second zap in the microwave will bring it back to soft and fluffy.
