Add the sugar, halved strawberries and the apple/lemon mix. Speed 4, 4 seconds.
Add the egg and milk. :-: speed 3/4, 10 seconds. if not combined add a little more time.
Pour into prepared tin and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Cookie that cake looks delicious, I'm on a diet trying to lose at least 5 kilos, I would love a piece but can't trust myself , so I won't make it YET.
