How to Make Strawberry Cake
This recipe calls for several ingredients but if you use a strawberry cake mix in the box it will be a lot easier. (If you are looking for easy)
- 1 Box of Strawberry Cake Mix
Strawberry Frosting ingredients
2 C unsalted sweet cream butter softened
6 C powdered sugar
4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 C finely diced strawberries
5-7 TBSP heavy whipping cream
How to make Strawberry Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray the cake pans with pam baking spray, set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine eggs, strawberry puree, vanilla, strawberry extract, pink food coloring, whisk until combined.
Using a standing mixer, whisk together the cake flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Slowly beat in the butter and canola oil until combined.
Once the mixture looks like coarse sand, gradually beat in the egg mixture until combined. The batter will be very thick and fluffy but so good!
Evenly divide the cake batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pans 10 min. then turn out.
Frosting Directions:
Using a standing mixer, cream together the butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, diced strawberries, and heavy whipping cream until combined and creamy and stiff with peaks
Directions to prepare the cake:
Once cake rounds have cooled, remove from cake pans and place onto a cutting board
Using the cake leveler, remove the domes of the cakes
Place one cake round onto the cake board
Scoop 1 C of the frosting onto the middle of the cake
Using the angled spatula, smooth the frosting out
Place the second cake layer onto the first layer
Repeat steps with the frosting and remaining cake layer
Scoop 1 C of frosting into the piping bag and set aside
Once you have built your cake, scoop the remaining frosting onto the top of the cake and use the angled spatula to smooth it out
Frost the entire cake until smooth
Using the piping bag, pipe dollops of frosting around the edge of the top of the cake
Place sliced strawberries along the sides of the dollops and in the middle of the cake
Enjoy!
This Strawberry Cake tastes and looks like it came straight from the bakery, but it is made from your hands. It’s full of fresh strawberries and tastes delicious!
