Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the topping first. Cut 6 strawberries lengthwise, cut 1-2 slices from the middle of each strawberry. Chop the remaining ends and bits into small chunks.
Step 2
Spread the chopped strawberries out on a plate and sprinkle with some of the sifted powdered sugar. Use a spoon to lift and turn the fruit, coating them in the sugar. Allow to sit and macerate.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and place a rack in the center of the oven.
Step 4
Lightly mist loaf pan and six of the muffin tin cups with cooking spray, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set pans aside.
Step 5
Place all cake ingredients into the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low speed for 1 minute to combine. Scrape down sides of the mixer bowl, then beat on medium-high speed 3 minutes more.
Step 6
Fill 6 muffin tin cups 3/4 full with batter and pour the remaining batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Set muffin tin aside.
Step 7
Place the loaf pan onto a cookie sheet and bake for 50-60 minutes until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger. Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool for 20 minutes.
Step 8
Run a long, sharp knife around the edge of the cake, invert it onto a rack, then invert it onto a serving platter so that it is right side up. Slice, top with macerated strawberry topping and serve.
Step 9
Slice the remaining strawberries so as to create round pieces to place on top of the mini cakes. While loaf cake is cooling, place a round strawberry slice on top of each mini cake.
Step 10
Place muffin tin in the oven and bake 20-25 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
