Strawberry Cake with Almond Streusel + Vegan Version

Jump to Recipe
Strawberry cake with streusel

Like every year, at the end of last year I made a list of things I wanted to do. I’m a list person. I love lists and therefore have millions of these for any cause or purpose. They help me get focused on what I need to do and actually calm me.

Ironically, my list of goals for 2020 included things like reading more books and making a huge jigsaw puzzle (I know, you should always be careful for what you wish for…), which I obviously marked as checked with no problem. However, it also had in it things like getting to know a new country, which weren’t quite as possible this year…

So this year I decided not to make my annual list. Not because I don’t have such, I actually have, and lots of it. But for some reason I don’t feel like it this year, nor do it seems to fit the spirit of current time.

So instead of a list of plans – I made a strawberry shortcake!

Strawberry cake with streusel

My strawberry cake is basically a light sponge cake, topped with sweet strawberries and then an almond streusel … let me tell you one thing – wow. The batter of the cake has in it both almond flour and yoghurt, which makes the cake especially soft.

There are 2 versions to the recipe – one vegetarian and the other vegan. The vegan recipes follows the vegetarian one. Both are excellent!

May we a sweet year!

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 330°F/170°C and prepare a baking pan greased or lined with baking paper.
  • Prepare the almond streusel mixture – place all the streusel ingredients in a small bowl. Using your clean hands, process the mixture so that all the almonds are evenly coated. Keep aside.
  • Wash the strawberries and slice them vertically in half and / or quarters. Keep aside.
  • In a mixer bowl with a flat beater on, place soft butter, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until a creamy and even. Add an egg, continue to process until it is absorbed into the mixture and then add the yogurt. Process until a uniform mixture is obtained.
  • Add the dry ingredients – flour, ground almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt and process until a uniform mixture is obtained. If necessary – stop the mixer and scrape the sides with a spatula so that all the ingredients are mixed evenly.

  • After cooling and/ or before serving, sprinkle the cake with dusting sugar.

Notes:

  • The recipe is also suitable for 30 cm/ 12-inch bread pan
  • you can substitute brown sugar with regular sugar
  • As for the streusel – personally I prefer to use coconut oil (love the flavor it adds), but of course you can also use butter. In any case, it should be in a soft state. If the coconut oil/ butter is solid- heat it in the microwave for a few seconds, and if it is liquidish – put it in the fridge for a few minutes.
