Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 2 eggs
  • 23 g vegetable oil
  • 26 g milk
  • 26 g cake flour
  • 26 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Filling

  • 180 g heavy cream
  • 28 g granulated sugar
  • Fresh strawberry cubes (quantity as desired)

Instructions

  1. Separate eggs and chill whites. In a clean bowl, separate the eggs, placing the egg whites in a bowl and refrigerating it to keep cool for better whipping later.
  2. Prepare cake batter. In another bowl, mix vegetable oil and milk well. Sift in cake flour and mix thoroughly. Add the egg yolks and stir until combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Preheat oven and prepare tray. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a baking mat and preheat the oven to 302℉ (150℃).
  4. Whip egg whites with flavorings. Add lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla extract to the chilled egg whites. Use a hand mixer to beat until stiff peaks form, ensuring a stable meringue.
  5. Fold meringue into batter. Take a small scoop of the whipped egg whites and gently fold it into the batter to lighten the mixture. Then fold in the remaining egg whites carefully until just combined to maintain airiness.
  6. Pipe and bake the cakes. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe out rounds about 6 cm in diameter onto the lined tray. Bake for approximately 28 minutes or until the cakes turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
  7. Prepare whipped cream filling. In a clean bowl, combine heavy cream and sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag.
  8. Assemble the cake tacos. Gently shape each cake like a small taco shell. Pipe whipped cream inside, add fresh strawberry cubes, and top with more whipped cream. Garnish each cake taco with additional strawberry pieces for a vibrant finish.

Notes

  • Ensure egg whites are chilled before whipping to achieve better volume.
  • Gently fold the meringue into the batter to retain air and create a fluffy texture.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • For a different flavor twist, try adding a teaspoon of strawberry extract into the batter or whipped cream.
  • Store assembled cake tacos in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
