Strawberry Love
I have mentioned in many of my strawberry recipe, I'm obsessed with fresh strawberries! Seriously, when they're in season, I go totally overboard and buy like, a million of them.
First thing's first: they get a quick dunk in some vinegar water. Then, I dry them and refrigerate in silicon pouches.
The Cake Story
I made this strawberry white chocolate cake for a play date. When my boys were young and had such fun often. We mom's plan and meet up at nearby parks or at someone's home. Kids have fun and we mom's too connected well and had a relaxed time.
Coming back to the cake. The cake came out super delicious. It was a great hit with kids. None of them bothered about the fresh strawberry chunks inside. Mine are usually fussy about anything chunky that comes in their cake, except for chocolate.
I have topped the cake with fresh strawberry compote. The compote has some sugar, that balances the flavor well. This fluffy white chocolate cake with fresh strawberries makes a great celebration cake.
That's how this amazing fresh strawberry cake was added to our regular bake list. A friend of mine, tried this with frozen strawberries too. And they loved it.

Some FAQ's
If you don't get or have buttermilk in your place, dilute ½ cup thick curd with ½ cup water. Whisk well to make 1 cup buttermilk. Other method is to add vinegar or lemon juice to milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to curdle.
Yes, definitely. A friend of mine, tried this with frozen strawberries. And they loved it. If using frozen berries, add it as such to the flour mix. Do not thaw the berries.
Absolutely. Instead of buttermilk, blend silken tofu with lemon juice and water. I recently made a vegan vanilla cake with silken tofu and it came out perfect.

Print Pin RateEquipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Convection oven
- Whisk and spatula
- Bowls for mixing the batter
- Sauce pan for making compote
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups of whole wheat flour
- ½ cup sugar see notes
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup oil
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- 100 grams white chocolate chopped into chunks
- 1 cup buttermilk see notes
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup water
Strawberry compote Topping for the Cake
- 10 fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoon of palm jaggery syrup you can use normal sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger shredded
- 1 clove
Instructions
To Make Fresh strawberry compote
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Chop them roughly. Take the chopped berries in a sauce pan and heat.
- Once they start cooking, add palm jaggery syurp, ginger and cloves to it. Let this simmer, until the berries lose their shape and turn into a mush.
- It takes around 15- 20 minutes. Using a potato masher, mash the berries roughly. Take it off the stove, let it cool completely.
- Store it in an air-tight container and refrigerate.
To Make the Cake
- Grease an 8 inch round cake tin, lay it with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 170C
- In a large bowl, take together flour, baking powder and soda and whisk them well together.
- In to the same bowl add sugar, chopped strawberries and white chocolate and mix them well into the flour mixture.
- Mix together buttermilk, vanilla extract and oil in a measuring jug, whisk well and add this liquid to the flour mixture.
- Using a spatuala, mix the contents in one direction. Slowly add ¼ cup of water and mix well. Pour the batter into the prepared tin.
- Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven, let it sit for 5 minutes, then carefully remove it to a wire rack. Let it cool completely.
- Allowing the cake to rest is very important before removing the cake from the tin. Been there and done that, have patience or you will end up with half the cake in the pan and half in your hand.
- I spooned some fresh strawberry compote on top and served the cake.
Storing Instructions
- I leave the cake overnight on the kitchen counter. If storing for more time, i recommend refrigerating in an air-tight container.
- While serving from the fridge, reheat it for 10-20 seconds and enjoy it warm.
Notes
- Baking temperature varies from oven to oven, so keep an eye on the bake after 30 minutes.
- An 8-inch round cake without topping typically yields around 12 servings, although the exact number can vary based on slice size and cake height.
- If you don't get or have buttermilk in your place, you can dilute ½ cup thick curd with ½ cup water and whisk well to make 1 cup buttermilk. I do this at times i don't have enough buttermilk in hand
- Other method is use add vinegar or lemon juice to milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to curdle.
- I have used white chocolate and reduced the sugar used in the cake to just half cup. If you are planning to use dark chocolate, i would recommend using ¾ cup of sugar.

I am like you Priya, whenever strawberries are in season I go mad! Like a person obsessed I make all the desserts possible and one of them is eggless wholewheat strawberry muffins. Like how you've also added white chocolate to the batter. Got to try it. The strawberry compote is a brilliant idea.. hate cakes with butter icing.
