Skip the Layers with this Strawberry Sponge Cake Recipe

I love the combination of strawberries and sponge cake but I don’t always have time to prepare the classic layered strawberry sponge cake when making a dessert. This recipe saves on time but doesn’t fall short on flavor, baked in one large glass pan for ease of preparing.

The chocolate chips are sprinkled on top for just a hint of sweet chocolate combined with fresh strawberries. Alternatively, you can by-pass this step altogether and bake the cake without the chocolate chips if desired.

Ingredients

3 eggs
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup melted butter
1 cup flour all purpose
1 tsp baking powder
1 pack vanilla sugar
pinch of salt
1.25 cup strawberries chopped
½ cup chocolate chips semi sweet

Instructions

Beat eggs and add sugar. When they are well blended, add melted butter slowly and keep mixing.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Remove clumps with a sifter.
Fold in the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon.
Add strawberries and mix just until blended.
Batter shouldn’t be too runny. Add 1 tbsp of flour if it appears too runny.
Pour the batter into a lightly greased pan. Avoid over greasing the pan.
Sprinkle the top with chocolate chips.
Bake at 360F for 30-35 minutes. Check the cake by inserting a toothpick in the center after 30 minutes. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is cooked through.

Wait for the sponge cake to cool completely before serving alongside a cup of coffee or tea or even on it’s own. Additionally, you can sprinkle some icing sugar over top to complete before serving.
