Ingredients

  • 60 g Miniature Marshmallow
  • 280 g Frozen Strawberries
  • 85 g Strawberry Gelatin
  • 270 g All-Purpose Flour
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 3 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 113 g Butter
  • 300 ml Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 3 Eggs
  • 300 g Heavy Cream

Instructions

  • Generously grease a 9.5 x 7.5 inch (24 x 19 cm) baking pan.
  • Evenly spread marshmallows on the bottom of the pan.
  • Mix the thawed berries with the dry gelatin and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine sugar, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk, and blend at medium speed until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and beat for 2 minutes until well combined.
  • Pour the cake batter evenly over the marshmallows.
  • Spoon the strawberry mixture evenly over the batter.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) or 155°C (311°F) fan-assisted, for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Serve warm or cool with ice cream, or whipped cream, or more fresh strawberries for added flavor.

Notes

Grease the pan well: Don’t forget the corners and sides to keep the marshmallows from sticking.
Use room-temperature ingredients: Butter, eggs, and milk mix better when they’re not cold, giving your cake a smoother texture.
Layer carefully: Gently pour the batter over the marshmallows, and use a spoon to spread the strawberry gelatin evenly for a balanced flavor.
Cool a bit before serving (if eating warm): Let the cake sit for about 10 minutes so the marshmallows can settle, making it easier to slice.
Store leftovers properly: Keep them in an airtight container—at room temp for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5. Warm slices for a few seconds in the microwave to enjoy them again!
