  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), softened
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar (250g)
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 large whole egg
  • 2/3 cup whole milk (160ml)
  • 3 oz vegan gelatin powder (strawberry flavored)
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (270g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with butter or cooking spray and dust with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites one at a time, then mix in the whole egg.
  3. Gradually stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Slowly add to the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Divide batter between prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cooling for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. For frosting, beat softened butter until creamy; add cream (or milk), vanilla extract, salt, and confectioners' sugar until smooth.
  7. Once cakes are cool, frost between layers and cover top and sides of the cake.
  8. For the crunch topping, mix crushed cookies with freeze-dried strawberries and melted butter; press onto the frosted cake.
