Strawberry Cake Recipe (Emma's Goodies)

By Maryam Shitta at University of Manitoba

I was scrolling through YouTube when I came across Emma Fontanella’s pineapple cake recipe; made with fresh pineapples. I tried making it, and it turned out really good so I decided to substitute the pineapples for strawberries. Emma is a professional baker and pastry chef from Italy. She has a blog and a YouTube channel; Emma’s Goodies where she posts simple recipes that everyone can try. I have tried a few of her recipes and they are amazing. This strawberry cake recipe is easy and uses ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen.

Add the eggs two at a time with some red food colouring.

#spoontip: Make sure the eggs are at room temperature and try not to overmix the eggs so that the cake does not come out cracked at the top.
