Using a stand mixer with a flat whisk attachment, mix all the dry ingredients on low speed. Add all the liquid ingredients and continue mixing for 2 minutes or until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.

Pour the mixture into the molds. Bake in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool on a rack before unmolding.

Preparation of vanilla strawberries: In a bowl, mix the strawberries, sugar, and vanilla. Let macerate for about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
