Chef Frankie, of Uncle Giuseppe's Marketplace, shows News 12's Lily Stolzberg how to make Strawberry Short Cake.

· 2 cups plain / all-purpose flour

· 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

· 1/4 tsp cooking salt

· 4 large eggs

· 1 1/2 cups

· 1/2 cup unsalted butter

· 1 cup milk

· 3 tsp vanilla extract

· 3 tsp vegetable or canola oil

Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) for 20 minutes before starting the batter (Note 8). Place shelf in the middle of the oven.

Grease 2 x 20cm / 8” cake pans with butter, then line with parchment / baking paper. (Note 9 more pan sizes) Best to use cake pan without loose base, if you can.

Whisk flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

Heat Milk-Butter (Note 5): While egg is beating, place butter and milk in a heatproof jug and microwave 2 minutes on high to melt butter (or use stove).

Gently add flour: When the egg is whipped, scatter 1/3 flour across surface, then beat on Speed 1 for 5 seconds. Add half remaining flour, then mix on Speed 1 for 5 sec. Add remaining flour, then mix on Speed 1 for 5 – 10 sec until the flour is just mixed in. Once you can’t see flour, stop straight away.

Combine milk, vanilla & oil – Pour hot milk, vanilla and oil into the now empty flour bowl.

Lighten with some Egg Batter: Add about 1 1/2 cups (2 ladles or so) of the Egg Batter into the Milk-Butter (don't need to be 100% accurate with amount). Use a whisk to mix until smooth – you can be vigorous here. Will look foamy.

Slowly add milk: Turn beater back on Speed 1 then pour the Milk mixture into the Egg Batter over 15 seconds, then turn beater off.

Scrape and final mix: Scrape down sides and base of bowl. Beat on Speed 1 for 10 seconds – batter should now be smooth and pourable.
