Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and allow it to warm up for 10 minutes. This ensures even baking of the cake.
-
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the muesli, wheat berries or whole wheat, instant oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine evenly.
-
Add the wet ingredients: Gradually add the extra virgin olive oil into the dry mixture, stirring continuously to combine. Then, add the vanilla extract and whole egg. Whisk well until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
-
Incorporate liquids and fruit: Slowly add the milk, water, and date syrup (or honey) into the batter. Mix until everything is well blended. Finally, gently fold in the diced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Prepare the bundt pan: Grease the bundt cake pan with a little olive oil and lightly dust with flour to prevent sticking. Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
-
Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. To check if the cake is done, insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.
-
Cool and unmold: Once baked, remove the bundt cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully flip the pan over onto a cooling rack and gently remove the pan to allow the cake to cool completely.
