  • To a bowl, add the flour, baking powder and baking soda.

Notes

  • I originally tried this recipe with all purpose flour, store bought buttermilk and eggs last year. I wanted an eggless version  and one that can be easily recreated at homes, so made some changes. 
  • Orange zest adds a freshness to the cake, it can be omitted if you do not have it. 
  • Strawberries are optional, and can be omitted or substituted with another berry like raspberries.
  • I have tried this cake with a mix of flour and almond meal and it doesn't rise as much but is still delicious!
