    A popular summer coffee cake with fresh strawberries and almond meal! This easy strawberry cake is moist, sweet, fruity, nutty, easy and quick to prepare, and a real eye-catcher!

    The pinkish strawberry topping looks simply stunning and makes quite an impression on guests – feel free to dust with powdered sugar. Serve it along with a cup of tea or coffee on a sunny summer day, and everyone is happy!

    Strawberries are often used fresh as a cake topping, but I do love to bake them together with the cake batter. They make your cake juicier and sweeter while using less refined sugar. Although, make sure to use ripe strawberries (slightly overripe ones that aren’t the best to enjoy fresh anymore can be used too).

    The strawberry almond cake batter consists mainly of ground almonds and little spelt flour. Use dairy-free butter, and feel free to swap white sugar with coconut sugar to make it refined sugar-free. If you prefer a gluten-free strawberry cake, swap spelt flour 1:1 with gluten-free baking flour.

    Strawberry Cake Recipe – Step-by-Step

    This step-by-step guide will help you along the way – definitely recommended if you’re a baking beginner! The exact quantities and everything else you need to know for the recipe can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch (20cm) springform pan with parchment paper and place it on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
    • Wash fresh strawberries, dice half of them, and cut the other half in halves.

    • Bake for 60 minutes in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (or mostly clean). Remove from the oven, place on a wire rack, and let it cool completely in the springform pan before serving.

    Recipe FAQ & Tips

    How long does this cake stay fresh? Store leftovers in an airtight container or packed with aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

    Can I freeze leftovers? Absolutely! Once cool, transfer the cake into a freezer bag and freeze for a maximum of 3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight, or rebake frozen cake for a few minutes in the oven. Defrosting is even faster if you freeze the cake already sliced so that you can defrost single slices at room temperature (approx. 1 hour).

    Almond Meal: This recipe works with either almond meal, almond flour, or ground almonds. You can even opt-in for ground hazelnuts instead of almonds; it also tastes delicious while slightly nuttier.

    Store leftovers in an airtight container or packed in aluminum wrap for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. → Although this cake tastes best when eaten within the same day.
    Freeze: Once cool, transfer the cake (I suggest slicing it beforehand) into a freezer bag and freeze for a maximum of 3 months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight, or rebake frozen cake for a few minutes in the oven. Single slices can be thawed for 1 hour at room temperature.

      Made this cake today, and it was utterly yummy; got two thumbs up from my picky hubby too! Set perfectly in the center after the recommended 1 hour of baking. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

      I just made this cake. It is delicious and perfectly sweetened, but I think I must’ve had extra juicy strawberries because the cake was quite wet in the middle after an hour and 5 minutes in the oven and lots of cooling time. Now, having said that, it doesn’t feel or taste uncooked….just wet. Almost like a pudding in the middle. I powdered and will drizzle melted dark chocolate on for serving…minus the one taster piece of course! 😉😄

        Sorry to hear that the cake is a little too wet for your taste. I still hope it tasted delicious! Next time, try to use a little more flour or fewer strawberries. Thank you for sharing your experience, Katie! 😍
