  • 200g Fairtrade caster sugar
  • 4 Co-op British free range eggs
  • 200g Co-op self raising white flour, plus 1 tbsp
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste
  • 25g Co-op ground almonds
  • Drop of vegetarian red or pink food colouring gel
  • 1 tbsp Co-op whole milk

For the icing

  • 75g Co-op soft cheese, softened

For the syrup

  • 1 tbsp Co-op strawberry jam

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4
  2. Grease and line a 900g loaf tin, then whizz 100g of the strawberries into a purée
  3. Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy
  4. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, spooning in a little flour after each addition to prevent curdling
  5. Add the rest of the 200g flour, the vanilla and almonds, then beat until smooth
  6. Put half the batter into another bowl and mix in the strawberry purée, the extra 1 tbsp flour and a drop of food colouring
  7. Mix the milk into the plain batter
  8. Dollop the two batters alternately into the prepared baking tin, then gently swirl together
  9. Bake for 1 hour, until risen and golden and a skewer comes out clean
  10. Leave the cake to cool in the tin
  11. For the icing, beat together the soft cheese and butter until smooth
  12. Stir in the icing sugar a little at a time, followed by the vanilla paste, until you have a thick, creamy mixture
  13. Spread this over the cooled cake, then top with the remaining strawberries, halved, to decorate
  14. Mix together the syrup ingredients and spoon over the cake
  15. If there’s any left, serve in a jug on the side
