STRAWBERRY CAKE FROM SCRATCH

Strawberry Cake from Scratch image

It is hard to find scratch strawberry cakes, so this one is worth it weight in gold to me as a caterer. I made this cake for a child's birthday party. It was a major hit! Frost with cream cheese or vanilla frosting - or for a treat, use a chocolate glaze!

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs (room temperature)
2 ¾ cups sifted cake flour
2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 cup whole milk, room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
½ cup strawberry puree made from frozen sweetened strawberries

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and dry strawberry gelatin until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Blend in vanilla and strawberry puree. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in their pans over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, before tapping out to cool completely.

Tips:

Choose ripe, sweet strawberries: This will ensure that your cake has the best flavor.
Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds from the strawberries: This will give your cake a smoother texture.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Use a cream cheese frosting or whipped cream frosting for the best flavor: These frostings are both rich and creamy, and they pair perfectly with the strawberries.

Conclusion:

Strawberry cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and juicy strawberries, fluffy cake layers, and creamy frosting, strawberry cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
