Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar, and basil. Let sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, to release the juices.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, and melted butter to form a thin batter. Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheets and form circles about 4 cm apart. Do not overcrowd the baking sheets. You may need to bake in batches if all the batter does not fit on two baking sheets. Bake the cakes until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
  4. Cut each cake in half sideways and place strawberries on the bottom half. Top with the other cake half and garnish with whipped cream. Serve immediately.
