Ingredients

FOR THE CAKE

225g (8oz) unsalted butter, softened
200g (7oz) caster sugar
4
large eggs
1 tsp.
vanilla extract
2 Tbsp.
milk
225 g
225g (8oz) self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
75 g
75g (3oz) strawberry milkshake powder
150 g
150g (5oz) condensed milk

FOR THE ICING

500 ml
(17 fl 0z) double cream
25g (1oz) strawberry milkshake powder
25g (1oz) icing sugar

TO DECORATE

100g (3 ½oz) strawberries, sliced
Strawberry dessert sauce

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and grease and line a rough 20.5 x 30.5cm tin with baking parchment. For the cake, in a large bowl, using a handheld electric whisk, beat the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Beat in the eggs 1 at a time. If the mixture looks as it if might curdle, beat in 1tbsp of the flour.
2. Step 2Beat in the vanilla and milk. Using a large metal spoon, fold in the (remaining) flour and the strawberry milkshake powder, until combined. Scrape into the lined tin and smooth to level. Bake for 30-35min, or until risen and springy to the touch. Leave to cool completely in the tin.
3. Step 3For the coulis, whizz the strawberries and icing sugar in the small bowl of a food processor (or in a jug with a stick blender) until smooth. Pass through a fine sieve into a jug, working pulp well with the back of a spoon. Discard seeds.
4. Step 4For the topping, in a large bowl, whip the double cream and milkshake powder until the mixture just holds its shape.
5. Step 5Transfer the cooled cake to a serving plate or board. Spread over the topping and drizzle over the coulis. Decorate with extra strawberries and serve.
