5-ingredient Strawberry Cake is soft and dense and smells like a strawberry patch. Filled with puréed and whole strawberries, it has no oil, no butter, and no dairy. So easy and delicious!
Add 1/2 pound of strawberries to a small food processor and puree until almost smooth. You'll get about 1 cup of strawberry sauce.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and strawberry sauce. Whisk with a hand-held mixer until fully incorporated.
Add the flour and baking powder and mix just until the flour disappears. Do not over mix!
Oil and flour a 7-inch cake pan. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Arrange the rest of the whole strawberries on top and slightly push them inside the batter.
Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpic inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. It could take as little as 30 minutes to bake, depending on your oven.
Remove the cake from the oven, let cool, then slice and serve.
