How to Make Irresistible Strawberry Cake

Cake

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the gelatin and mix until well combined.
  4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined. Stir in the strawberry puree and vanilla extract.
  6. Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting

  1. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Sugar and Strawberries: Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add the strawberry puree and vanilla extract and beat until well combined.

Assembly

  1. Frost the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  2. Decorate: Garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
  3. Serve: Slice and enjoy this beautiful, delicious cake!

Tips

  • Strawberry Puree: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that the butter, eggs, and cream cheese are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Even Layers: Use a serrated knife to level the cake layers if needed for a more professional look.
