Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C.
Mix the egg, milk, vinegar and oil in a big bowl.
Add the sugar and vanilla essence. Mix well.
Add the flour and baking powder, and mix well with a whisk till smooth.

Pour the batter into a round baking dish, which has been buttered or oiled a bit on the sides and bottom to prevent the cake from sticking. I ended up using a pie-pan. It looked cuter in it :)

Now mix one tablespoon sugar with the quartered strawberries. Arrange the strawberries on the top of the batter, pushing each piece of strawberry in a bit into the batter.

Bake it in the oven at 180 degrees for 60 minutes or till the cake is done and a fork inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
