Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180c and line a loaf pan with baking powder.
Step 2
Pour your sugar and olive oil into your Ninja Kitchen food processor and pulse to combine. Then, add in the milk mixture, lime juice and vanilla whilst continuing to mix.
Step 3
Pour the wet mixture into a large mixing bowl and fold through the dry ingredients to create a smooth cake batter. Gently stir in the chopped strawberries.
Step 4
Transfer this into your loaf tin and place into your preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, until cooked through. Once you can pierce your loaf with a skewer and this appears clean, your cake is ready.
Step 5
Leave the loaf to cool for at least 30 minutes whilst you prepare the frosting.
Step 6
Using your Ninja Kitchen food processor, blitz together all of the ingredients for the cashew frosting and blend this until you're left with an ultra smooth and creamy consistency. Gradually add in the coconut milk to help thin out the cashew cream as you blend.
Step 7
Spread the frosting over your cooled cake and top with fresh fruit if you desire!
