all-purpose flour
sugar
eggs
milk
butter
baking powder
vanilla extract
salt

for the strawberry milk:
strawberries, blended
sweetened condensed milk
milk

for the topping:
whipped cream
fresh strawberries

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F) and preparing a baking pan.

In a bowl, I mix the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy, then add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. I stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.

I pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 25–30 minutes until the cake is set and lightly golden. I let it cool slightly.

For the strawberry milk, I blend fresh strawberries and mix them with milk and sweetened condensed milk.

I poke small holes in the warm cake and slowly pour the strawberry milk mixture over it, allowing it to soak in completely.

Once chilled, I spread whipped cream on top and garnish with fresh strawberries before serving.

Servings and timing

I usually get about 8 to 10 servings from this recipe.
Preparation takes around 15 minutes, baking takes 25–30 minutes, and chilling takes about 1–2 hours.

Variations

I sometimes add a layer of strawberry jam between the cake and whipped cream for extra flavor. I also like using a mix of berries for a different twist. Another variation I enjoy is adding a hint of rose water for a floral note. Strawberry Milk Cake

storage/reheating

I store the cake in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.

I serve it chilled and don’t reheat it, as the texture is best when cold.

FAQs

Yes, I like making it a day ahead so the flavors develop even more.

Can I use store-bought whipped cream?

Yes, I can use it for convenience, though I prefer fresh whipped cream.

What type of pan works best?

I like using a rectangular or square baking dish for even soaking.

Conclusion

I enjoy making this strawberry milk cake because it’s soft, creamy, and full of fresh flavor. It’s one of those desserts I like to prepare when I want something light, sweet, and a little special.
