Ingredients

Instructions

3. Step 3: Combine the wet ingredients with the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
4. Step 4: Fill each mold halfway with batter, add chopped strawberries, and cover with more batter.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter.
• Use frozen strawberries if fresh are not in season; just thaw and drain well before adding.
• Try substituting half the milk with buttermilk for a tangier cake.
• For a decorative touch, dust the finished cakes with powdered sugar before serving.

Storage

Store leftover cake bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add whipped cream just before serving to keep it fresh. Reheat gently in a microwave for 10-15 seconds if you prefer a warm cake, but avoid warming after adding cream.

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake the cake bombs a day in advance and store them refrigerated without the whipped cream topping. Add the whipped cream and strawberries right before serving for the best texture.

What if I don’t have an egg-shaped mold?

You can use a regular muffin tin instead. The shape will be different, but the flavor and texture will remain just as delicious.
