  3. Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix
  4. Pour the mixed batter into a greased Pyrex dish or pan
  5. Bake the cake for 40-45 minutes approximately. (Test with a toothpick to check if it is done. The inside will be slightly moist.)
  6. Let the cake cool to room temperature before removing it from the pan
  7. Top the cake with sliced strawberries*
  8. Serve the cake with whipped cream

Notes

Note: To serve, you can top the entire cake with strawberries or slice the cake, place strawberries on each serving, and top with a dollop of whipped cream. It is best to store extra in the fridge without the strawberries on top.
