ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray muffin tins with vegetable oil spray and set aside.
Using electric mixer, cream together sugar, oil, egg and vanilla until well mixed, about 20 to 30 seconds.
Add flour, baking powder, salt and milk and mix on medium for 20-30 more seconds until incorporated. Pour batter into muffin tins (about 1/2 cup each) and bake for 17-20 minutes or until each cake is lightly golden brown on top and done in the middle.
cook's notes
I've tried countless strawberry shortcake recipes over the years - and have often come away a bit disappointed - either they're too airy, too dry and biscuity, or too sweet. Baked in a muffin tin, this one's a cross between pound cake and sponge cake; these individual cakes may be split in half and topped with berries and milk. Mmmm, divine.

Uses ingredients that I always have on hand. Easy to make. Wonderful taste and texture. Love the idea of putting the batter in a cupcake tin. Only thing I did different, was only put 1/4 cup in each muffin tin. Made 12 I will make these again and again.

It didn't warrant a perfect 5 because there's something off about this recipe that needs to be perfected; it's sweet, but almost too sweet. And not as spongy as one would expect. It did come out very nice and I baked it in a muffin tin as suggested by CDKitchen staff, so it looked like strawberry shortcake cupcakes! Very cute, and almost addicting to eat. Did not have an electric mixer so maybe that might be a factor why it was "off."

This recipe is great! It is a nice mix between a sponge cake and biscuit. Not too sweet, but moist!
