Ingredients
  • Approximately 1 cup milk (for batter)
  • Small amount vanilla extract (likely 1 teaspoon)
  • Approximately 1 cup sugar
  • Roughly 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Small spoonful leavening agent (baking powder or soda)
  • Approximately ½ cup curd or yogurt
  • Approximately ½ cup oil
  • About 1 cup milk (for soaking liquid)
  • 1 cup condensed milk
  • Unspecified amount fresh cream (for soaking liquid)
  • Freshly whipped cream
  • Fresh strawberries
Method
  1. 1Mix approximately 1 cup milk, a small amount of vanilla extract, approximately 1 cup sugar, approximately ½ cup curd or yogurt, and approximately ½ cup oil in a large beige bowl.
  2. 2Sift roughly 2 cups all-purpose flour and a small spoonful of leavening agent directly into the wet mixture.
  3. 3Whisk all combined ingredients until a consistent, smooth batter is formed.
  4. 4Grease and flour a round baking dish with a distinct blue and white striped pattern.
  5. 5Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased and floured dish.
  6. 6Bake the cake in an oven until it turns golden brown and rises beautifully.
  7. 7While the cake is still warm, carefully slice off the top layer to create a flat surface.
  8. 8Generously poke many holes across the cake's surface with a fork.
  9. 9Whisk together about 1 cup milk, 1 cup condensed milk, and an unspecified amount of fresh cream in a separate bowl to prepare the soaking liquid.
  10. 10Generously pour the milky soaking liquid over the warm, porous cake using a ladle.
  11. 11Chill the cake in the refrigerator for some time to allow it to fully absorb the liquid and cool down.
  12. 12Once chilled, top the cake with a thick layer of freshly whipped cream, spread evenly with a spatula.
  13. 13Garnish the cake with halved fresh strawberries, artfully arranged on top.
  14. 14Serve by slicing a triangular piece, optionally adding additional sliced strawberries and more of the milk soaking liquid to the plate.
