A great summertime layer cake full of strawberry lemonade flavor!

Provided by Kim

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Strawberry Dessert Recipes

Time 1h50m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 21

5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
¼ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
4 eggs, room temperature
1 ½ tablespoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup sour cream, room temperature
¼ cup lemon juice
1 ½ cups unsalted butter, softened
5 cups powdered sugar, or more as needed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice for the reduction into an electric blender and puree until smooth.
  • Pour strawberry mixture into a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by 1/2, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons for cake and frosting; remainder will be used as cake filling.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat sugar and butter using an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Mix in lemon zest and vanilla extract. Stir in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1/2 of the sour cream, and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Repeat alternating additions of flour mixture and sour cream plus lemon juice until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
  • Place 1/2 of the batter into a separate bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup strawberry reduction. Place dollops of both lemon and strawberry-lemon batters alternately into the prepared cake pans. Swirl batters together with a butter knife.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pans before removing and transferring cakes to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Mix in 5 tablespoons strawberry reduction, lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt until combined. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add additional powdered sugar if too thin, or additional heavy cream if too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  • Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving platter and cover top with a thin layer of frosting. Pipe a border around the edge of the cake layer using a piping bag filled with frosting, leaving the center open. Pour remaining strawberry reduction into the center of the border, making sure it doesn't overflow over the sides. Place second cake layer on top and continue to frost as desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

  • Continue blending and gradually add the olive oil. Add the vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, and milk, and mix until smooth.

8 large fresh strawberries, stemmed, or more as needed
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE



Strawberry Lemonade Cake image

A summery twist on my standard apple cinnamon cake, made lighter/less dense by switching out the coconut oil with palm shortening. Free of gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, legumes (peanuts), and tree nuts. (Coconut is a drupe, not a nut.)

Provided by shancarter

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 single layer cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces coconut flour (about 1 1/4 cups)
6 ounces tapioca starch
12 g psyllium, fiber powder (I use Konsyl Original, because it has no additives)
10 ounces granulated sugar (replace with maple syrup or honey for AIP)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
170 g palm shortening
2 cups strawberries, pureed (about 1 lb)
1 ounce lemon juice
1 -2 tablespoon coconut oil, to grease baking pans (or palm shortening)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F.
  • Grease your baking pans well with coconut oil or palm shortening or other oil of choice.
  • *** Please note: I used a 9 1/2 inch x 2 inch round enameled pan for this cake, and it made a single 1 1/2 inch layer. Double the recipe for a 2-layer cake, or use smaller pans and divide the batter. ***.
  • Measure dry ingredients (coconut flour, tapioca starch, psyllium fiber powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt) into a mixing bowl and whisk together.
  • Add palm shortening to dry ingredients and carefully mix until well combined. The tapioca starch will fly everywhere if you mix too fast.
  • Remove stems from strawberries and rinse. Mash with a fork or puree in a blender or food processor. Add lemon juice and mix well.
  • Batter will be fluffy, not pourable. Spread it into well-greased pan.
  • Place a layer of parchment paper over the top of the cake and use your hands to smooth the cake batter to an even layer. Trim off excess parchment paper and leave it on the cake while baking.
  • Bake at 350*F for 30 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven and remove parchment paper immediately, to prevent condensation on the cake.
  • Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Shake the cake pan lightly to loosen the cake. Place a cooling rack face down on the cake pan. Holding cake pan in one hand, and cooling rack on top with the other, flip the cake onto the cooling rack. Let cake cool completely before frosting.
  • Frost with lemon frosting. (https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/vegan-quot-cream-cheese-quot-frosting-536008).

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh strawberries and lemons.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before starting.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  • For a smooth and creamy frosting, use a stand mixer or hand mixer to beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture, beating until well combined.
  • Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Frost the cake with the strawberry frosting and decorate with fresh strawberries and lemon zest.

Conclusion:

This strawberry lemonade cake is a delicious and refreshing summer treat. The combination of sweet strawberries and tart lemons is perfect for a hot day. The cake is also very moist and fluffy, and the frosting is light and creamy. This cake is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
