Step 1

To begin making the 50% Whole-Wheat Strawberry Tea Cake Recipe, we will first begin by pre-heating the oven at 180° C and preparing the baking dish by buttering and flouring it (this cake rises a fair bit, so ensure the pan is deep enough)In a small mixing bowl, sift together the flours and the baking powderUsing a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the softened butter and the sugar until light and fluffy

Step 2

Gradually break in the egg or flaxmeal egg replacer, add milk and vanilla extract and beat it into the butter-sugar mixture until just combinedGradually add the flour mixture and beat until all the flour is well combined to make a smooth cake batter

Step 3

Take care not to over mix

Step 4

Spoon the batter into the prepared baking tin and place the halved strawberries on top with the cut side down in a single layer

Step 5

Sprinkle the 2 teaspoons of sugar and bake the Strawberry Cake for about 30 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (however, molten strawberries may be gooey)

Step 6

Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes before you are ready to serve them

Step 7

Serve the Whole-Wheat Strawberry Tea Cake Recipe for breakfast or as a tea time snack or even pack them into your kids lunch boxes too
