Ingredients

Butter3 tbsp
Heavy Cream1/4 cup
Salta pinch
Eggs3
Sugar1 tsp
Baking Powder2 tsp
Vanilla Extract1 tsp
Strawberries2 cups, hulled and sliced

Instructions

1
Heat the oven to 180 C / 350 F and line the tin; a properly prepared pan is half the battle.
2
Whisk the butter, eggs and sugar until pale, thick and doubled — this takes three or four good minutes.
3
Sift in the flour, heavy cream and leaveners and fold gently — stop the moment the batter comes together.
4
Pour into the tin and bake 30-40 minutes, until a skewer in the centre comes out clean.
5
Cool completely, then frost or dust — a warm cake melts frosting into a puddle.

Chef's tip

With butter-based batters, cream until the mixture actually lightens in colour; that trapped air is your rise.
