FRESH STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY BUTTERCREAM ICING
This is the real deal! After scouring my all my cookbooks and countless recipes online, I developed a recipe for homemade strawberry cake, no gelatin required! This cake has a wonderful, fresh strawberry taste similar to the flavor combination of strawberry shortcake in a delicate pink layer cake. The color and the flavor are subtle yet delicious. No neon pink here! Just fantastic strawberry flavor. I served this at my daughter's sixth birthday with friends and family and everyone loved it, describing it as 'bakery quality'.

Steps:
- Place whites and sugar in a heatproof mixer bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugar dissolves and mixture registers 160 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat, and attach bowl to a mixer. Whisk on medium speed for 5 minutes. Increase speed to medium-high, and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 6 minutes. Reduce speed to medium, and add butter, 1 piece at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Switch to a paddle attachment. With mixer on low, add strawberry puree, and beat until smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Use immediately, or cover, and refrigerate.
Tips:
- When making the buttercream, use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of the icing.
- To achieve a smooth and creamy texture, make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture, one cup at a time, to prevent the icing from becoming too thick or grainy.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried strawberries.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to create the swirls on the cupcakes.
Conclusion:
With its luscious strawberry flavor and creamy texture, this strawberry buttercream icing is the perfect finishing touch for any cake or cupcake. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking, making it a versatile icing that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
