Easy strawberry and coconut cake

If you are looking for a easy, soft and delicate cake, I recommend my recipe for strawberry and coconut cake. This is a quick and simple cake to prepare that is perfect for those who are not very expert in the kitchen. It is made with few ingredients and is completely lactose-free thanks to the use of coconut oil which gives it a light and delicate aftertaste. If you don’t have coconut oil available, you can also use neutral tasting oil such as grape seed or mixed seed oil and melted butter as well. Obviously, if you use melted butter, the cake will no longer be lactose-free so I recommend coconut oil that goes perfectly with the strawberry flavor.
