  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 large whole egg
  • 2/3 cup whole milk
  • 3-ounce package strawberry flavored vegan gelatin powder
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two round baking pans.

  5. For frosting, beat softened butter with heavy cream until smooth, then gradually add confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
  6. Assemble the cake by layering frosting between cooled cake layers and cover the top with remaining frosting. Top with a mixture of crushed cookies and freeze-dried strawberries.
