A beautiful cake that packs a punch in both taste and looks! Absolutely impressive AND easy!
Ingredients
- 350 ml plain yoghurt
- 350 ml sunflower oil
- 500 ml sugar
- 1050 ml self-raising flour
- 6 extra large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla essence
- 4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Icing and Topping Ingredients:
- 250g margarine / butter, cut into small blocks
- 4 cups icing sugar
- 4 TBS milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- 3 cups of strawberries, sliced plus a handful of whole strawberries.
Instructions
- Empty all cake ingredients into a bowl and mix with a beater until everything is just blended nicely – be careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into 4 round cake tins that have been greased or lined with wax paper. Bake at 180 °C for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans and then take out.
- To make icing – place the butter in a mixing bowl and beat until soft, now add the icing sugar, milk and vanilla essence. Beat until smooth. (remember that you  can just use whipped cream as a filling for each layer instead of the buttercream icing if you’d prefer).
- Ice each layer and place sliced strawberries on top of the icing in each layer (I covered the top of each layer completely with strawberries)
- Place uncut strawberries on the top layer or decorate as you wish.
