Ingredients
Scale
Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup whole milk
Filling & Topping
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Molds: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an egg-shaped mold or a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar to ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and sweetness.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and eggs together. Gradually add the whole milk while continuing to mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, stirring just until combined to keep the batter light and tender.
- Fill Molds: Spoon batter into each mold, filling halfway. Add a spoonful of chopped fresh strawberries on top, then cover with more batter until each mold is nearly full.
- Bake: Place the molds in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cake bombs are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing from molds.
- Whip Cream: While the cake bombs cool, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a mixer or whisk. Be careful not to overbeat.
- Assemble and Serve: Once the cake bombs are cool, top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with additional fresh strawberries. Serve immediately for best taste and presentation.
Notes
- Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature to achieve a smooth batter.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake eggs light and fluffy.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
- Whip cream just before serving to maintain its texture.
- If you don’t have an egg-shaped mold, a standard muffin tin works well too.
