STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
The fresh, natural flavors you get from making your own strawberry puree is worth the time. This cake and its frosting also gets its rosy hue from fresh strawberries rather than food coloring.

Steps:
- For the puree: Pulse the strawberries in a food processor, scraping as needed, until a smooth puree forms. Add the strawberry puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the puree reduces by half (to about 1 cup). Transfer the puree to a bowl and set aside to cool.
- For the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment rounds; lightly coat parchment with nonstick spray.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, oil and vanilla in another bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the whole eggs and yolks one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, until the batter is completely combined, smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in 1/2 cup of the cooled strawberry puree. Reserve the rest of the puree for the frosting.
- Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Smooth the tops. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the cakes are a light golden brown and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the wire rack. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in the butter, beating until smooth. Sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Remove 3 cups of the frosting to a medium bowl and set aside. Fold the reserved strawberry puree into the remaining frosting. Refrigerate both until slightly chilled and firm, about 20 minutes.
- To assemble the cake: Place one cake domed-side down on a platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the strawberry frosting evenly over the top. Place the remaining cake domed-side up on top. Spread the top and sides of the cake with 1 1/2 cups of the white frosting. Smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat. (It's okay if some of the cake shows through. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set.
- Spread the remaining white frosting on the top of the cake and the upper half of the sides. There should be a band all around the bottom of the cake with the crumb coat exposed. Fill in the exposed area with 1 cup of the strawberry frosting. Use a large offset spatula to smooth the top and sides of the cake. The strawberry and white frostings should blend together during smoothing to create an ombre effect. Transfer the remaining strawberry frosting to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe 8 rosettes evenly spaced along the top border of the cake.

Steps:
- 1. Heavily grease and flour one tube cake pan, a bundt pan will do. Preheat oven to 325.
- 2. Mix all dry ingredients with a whisk. Chop the strawberries and place in the measuring cup up to the 2 cup level with 1/2 cup of the sugar in the recipe along with the balsamic vinegar. Stir well and allow to stand while finishing the batter.
- 3. To the dry ingredients add the vanilla, the eggs, the oil and mix well. Will be sort of crumbly. With the mixer add the can of drained crushed pineapple. Then add in the strawberry mixture and continue to use the mixer until all is well mixed. Lastly stir in the pecan pieces.
- 4. Pour the batter into the cake pan. Place in the oven on a baking sheet to prevent melted shortening from falling onto the oven floor. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 and 1/2 hours or until tests done. Allow to cool in the pan about 20 minutes before removal.
- 5. Place the powered sugar in a screen strainer and dust the top of the cake until desired amount is reached. Better to wait until cake is completely cooled to slice. Very moist!
STRAWBERRY CAKE FROM SCRATCH
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!

Tips:

- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before creaming them together. This will help them combine smoothly.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make the cake tough.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gently. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cake.
- Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or sprinkles.
