Method
Step 1 of 7
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 22cm fluted round cake pan. Stir flour, almond meal, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and 1/4 tsp salt in a large bowl and set aside.
Step 2 of 7
Using an electric beater, beat together butter and sugar on medium-high for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla and almond essence until smooth.
Step 3 of 7
Reduce speed to low. Add buttermilk and dry ingredients in alternate batches, beating well between each addition. Pour batter into the prepared pan using a spatula to the smooth top.
Step 4 of 7
Arrange strawberries in an even layer on top. Sprinkle with the extra sugar and bake for 20-25 minutes or until just golden and cooked when tested with a skewer. Stand in pan for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. Allow to cool completely.
Step 5 of 7
Meanwhile, to prepare topping, slice half of the strawberries and combine in a bowl with the whole berries, sugar and balsamic. Stand for 30 minutes or until strawberries are syrupy and fragrant.
Step 6 of 7
Spread cream thickly over cooled cake. Top with macerated strawberries and drizzle with syrup.
Step 7 of 7
Garnish with basil leaves and strawberry flowers (if using).
