- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup melted unsalted butter
- 7 oz (1 cup) castor sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F (180 Degrees C). Grease a 9 inch round pan with butter and cover the base with parchment paper.
- Stir together 8 oz (2 cups) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoon lemon zest in a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- Whisk ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, and 7 oz (1 cup) castor sugar in another medium-size bowl using a wire whisk until it is pale in color.
- Add 2 large eggs, and whisk well.
- Add ¾ cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well.
- Now add this mixture into the flour mixture and mix everything well using a spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Place sliced strawberries on top. Keep the pan on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool for 5 minutes. Transfer the cake on a cooling rack and cool completely. Cut into slices and serve.
Notes
You can add some chopped strawberries in the batter as well.
Replace all purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
