Base

Method

Base Preparation

1

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking.

2

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tsp of baking powder, and 1 tsp of salt. Whisk together until well combined.

3

Combine Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 tbs of vegetable oil, and 1 large egg until the mixture is smooth.

4

Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

5

Pour into Baking Dish

Grease a baking dish with non-stick spray or butter. Pour the batter into the dish, spreading it evenly.

6

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Topping Preparation

7

Prepare Strawberries

While the base is baking, prepare the strawberries. Rinse and slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries.

8

Sweeten Strawberries

In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tbs of powdered sugar over the sliced strawberries and toss gently to coat. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.

9

Whip Cream

If using heavy cream, whip it until it forms soft peaks. If using pre-made whipped cream, set aside.

Assembly

10

Cool the Base

Once the base is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes in the dish.

11

Serve

Cut the base into squares, top each piece with sweetened strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy your Mediana!
