Hello, this is Chef John from foodwishes.com with strawberry blender cake. That's right. Making a batter with a blender might not make the best cake, but it might make your best cake, especially if you plan on serving it with some sweet cream and fresh strawberries, which is exactly what we're going to do.

we can head to the blender where we will dump in one cup of sliced strawberries. And you see how those are nice and red and beautifully ripe and sweet. That is what you're going to want to use. And then to that, we will add three eggs, followed by the vegetable oil of your choice. And pretty much anything with a neutral flavor will work.

00:56

And then we're also going to want a nice big pinch of sugar, followed by the freshly grated zest from one lemon,

as well as the juice from half the lemon. And then we'll finish up with a small touch of real pure vanilla extract. And once all that's in there, we'll pop on the lid.
