I have this mini-loaf pan that I use for baking my French Financiers (size about 4″x 2″ with 1″ depth). If you’re bored with cupcakes, this is a new way to eat your cake! Size of these eggless strawberry cakes is perfect for you to indulge in a treat without going for the whole cake .
These eggless strawberry cakes (or mini loaf) are overflowing with strawberry flavor. The liquids of this batter are made up of a strawberry puree and milk blend, then some chunks of strawberries are also folded into the batter. I also add a little strawberry essence in my whipped cream to complete the story. You can also add a few drops of pink food coloring to the batter and frosting for a deeper red color.
When strawberries are in season, definitely without any doubt use fresh. Otherwise, frozen strawberries or ready-made strawberry pulp (with 50% fruit and no added sugar) are great alternatives too when you want to make these beauties in off-season. Just let the frozen strawberries thaw and puree 70% of them in your blender and chop up the rest to fold into the batter.
This cake batter has a mix of milk and thick curd/Greek yogurt. The yogurt adds moisture and the milk gives the cake a nice fluffy texture.
This recipe will make two 8″ cakes of 16 mini loaf or 18 cupcakes. You can easily halve the recipe for smaller batches.
If you’re a fan of strawberries, and love them in lemonade, you should definitely try making these strawberry lemonade cheesecakes!
