Description

Step 1
Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. Lightly grease a 9" baking pan with cooking spray and line bottom with parchment. Grease parchment with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse almonds until finely ground. Scrape into a large bowl and add flour, baking powder, orange zest, and salt. Whisk to combine. 
Step 3
In food processor, process eggs, Domino Dark Brown Sugar, and 1 cup Domino Golden Sugar until pale and thickened, about 2 minutes. With motor running, slowly stream in oil until fully combined. Add dry mixture to food processor and pulse until just combined.
Step 4
Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool 10 minutes. Invert cake onto a plate, remove parchment, then invert onto wire rack and let cool completely.
Step 5
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream, vanilla, and remaining 1/4 cup Domino Golden Sugar. Spoon over top of cake. Pile strawberries over cream.
