- In a bowl mix together oil, dahi and powdered sugar. Then add strawberry essence and pink food colour.
- Sift maida, baking powder, baking soda and salt and fold gently in the wet ingredients.
- Gradually add milk and make a smooth batter. Pour this batter in a mould.
- Steam the cake first on medium flame for 40 mins then on low flame for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whip the cream till it reaches soft peak stage. The cream will double in its size after it's whipped properly. So ½ cup of cream will become 1 cup.
- Keep aside ¼ cup of the soft peaked whipped cream and add pink food colour in it and whip again for a minute.
- Once the cake is cooled down, remove it from the mould and cut it into 4 layers where 1 layer should be thin and remaining 3 should be equal sized thick layers. Crush the thin layer into fine pieces with fingers.
- Now start layering the cake. Add strawberry ice cream in between the layers.
- Frost the cake with pink whipped cream and garnish with crushed cake pieces.
