You will need:

Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

Grease a 18cm x 32cm baking tin and line with greaseproof paper.

Put all the ingredients, apart from the strawberries and flaked almonds, into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until soft and very well mixed. Spoon into the baking tray and smooth out into the corners.

Scatter over the strawberry pieces then sprinkle the flaked almonds on top and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and firm. Allow the cake to cool in the tin then cut into squares. Eat within a couple of days of cooking.
