How to Make It — Step by Step
Prep
Preheat oven to 180C and grease a 7 inch round cake tin and line with parchment
Mix Dry
Sift together maida, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl
Mix Wet
Whisk curd, oil, milk and vanilla together in a separate bowl until smooth and combined
Combine
Pour wet into dry and fold gently until just combined, do not overmix, batter will be thick
Bake
Pour into prepared tin and bake 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean, cool fully before frosting with strawberry cream
Tips for the Best Result
Make sure your curd is at room temperature before mixing. Cold curd can cause the batter to curdle and affect the final texture of the cake.
Always sift the cocoa powder and flour together to avoid lumps in your batter. This ensures a smooth, even crumb in every slice.
Once you add the dry ingredients to the wet, fold gently until just combined. Overmixing develops gluten and will make your cake dense rather than soft.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Greek yogurt works well. Thin it slightly with a tablespoon of milk to match the consistency of regular curd.
Yes, substitute the maida with a 1:1 gluten free flour blend for a gluten free version that still bakes up well.
Absolutely. Almond milk or oat milk work great as a 1:1 swap for regular milk in this recipe.
This usually happens if the oven door is opened too early or if the baking powder and soda are not fresh. Always check expiry dates before baking.
