🧾 Ingredients

Fruit layer:

1 cup strawberries (sliced)

1 cup rhubarb (chopped into 1–2 cm portions)

2–3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

1 tsp orange zest

1 tbsp orange juice

Cake batter:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter (softened)

¾ cup sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup yogurt or milk

2 tbsp orange juice

1 tbsp orange zest

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare fruit

In a bowl, blend strawberries and rhubarb with sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Let it take a seat for 10–15 minutes so the fruit releases juices and softens barely.

2. Preheat oven

Set oven to one hundred eighty°C (350°F). Grease and line an eight-inch round cake pan.

3. Make dry mixture.

4. Cream butter and sugar

In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until mild and fluffy (approximately 2–three mins). This allows for the creation of a smooth cake texture.

Five. Add moist components.

Beat in eggs separately. Add vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix till smooth.

6. Combine the batter.

Add dry ingredients in batches, alternating with yogurt (or milk). Mix lightly until simply blended. Do not overmix now, or the cake might also end up dense.

7. Assemble

Spread half the fruit aggregate on top.

Lightly swirl the top layer with a spoon for a marbled fruity effect.

Eight. Bake

Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted within the center comes out clean.

If the pinnacle browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after half an hour.

9. Cool & serve

Let the cake cool inside the pan for 10–15 minutes, then switch to a rack.

Serve hot or at room temperature. Optional toppings:

Powdered sugar dusting

Whipped cream or vanilla yogurt

A drizzle of honey
