Directions
-
Prepare the strawberries by washing and cutting them into halves. Set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt together for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy. Gradually add the vegetable oil and milk, mixing well after each addition.
-
Sift in the flour and baking powder. Begin mixing the batter with a whisk, then switch to a mixer for a smoother consistency.
-
Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined 19x28 cm baking dish. Level the surface with a spatula. Arrange the halved strawberries evenly over the top of the batter, then sprinkle with coconut shavings.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar, slice into squares, and serve.
