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

Method
- 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.
- 2Sift roughly 2 cups all-purpose flour and a small spoonful of leavening agent directly into the wet mixture.
- 3Whisk all combined ingredients until a consistent, smooth batter is formed.
- 4Grease and flour a round baking dish with a distinct blue and white striped pattern.
- 5Pour the prepared cake batter into the greased and floured dish.
- 6Bake the cake in an oven until it turns golden brown and rises beautifully.
- 7While the cake is still warm, carefully slice off the top layer to create a flat surface.
- 8Generously poke many holes across the cake's surface with a fork.
- 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.
- 10Generously pour the milky soaking liquid over the warm, porous cake using a ladle.
- 11Chill the cake in the refrigerator for some time to allow it to fully absorb the liquid and cool down.
- 12Once chilled, top the cake with a thick layer of freshly whipped cream, spread evenly with a spatula.
- 13Garnish the cake with halved fresh strawberries, artfully arranged on top.
- 14Serve by slicing a triangular piece, optionally adding additional sliced strawberries and more of the milk soaking liquid to the plate.
