Strawberry Cake in a Blender

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Fragrant, moist, and delicious!

Looking for a simple, sweet treat that tastes homemade without any hassle? This strawberry cake may just be the perfect pick. It’s made entirely in a blender, yes really, so you can forget about mixers and multiple bowls. Just blend everything together and bake. The result is a soft, moist cake with the natural sweetness and bright flavor of fresh strawberries in every bite.

It’s perfect from spring and summer gatherings, cozy afternoon coffee breaks (or tea parties, of course) or even a not overly sweet breakfast. The crumb is light, the top turns beautifully golden and the subtle strawberry flavour pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream. Also, since the whole recipe happens in the blender, clean up is quick and easy.

Ingredients You’ll Need

(See the full recipe below for exact measurements)

  • Fresh strawberries ( I even left the hull attached, yes, it’s edible)
  • All-purpose flour
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Baking powder
  • Vegetable oil – ( I used sunflower 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 directly in the blender with a spatula, this helps avoid overworking and over mixing the batter and keeps the cake soft and without too many air bubbles in it.
  • A touch of orange or lemon zest gives it the perfect citrusy flavor.
  • Let it cool down a bit before slicing so the texture sets. I love to eat a slice while it still a bit warm!

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 change and be a bit firmer in the fridge, but a quick 10-second zap in the microwave will bring it back to soft and fluffy.
