Strawberry Cake (Like Box Mix But Better)

(330 grams) quartered strawberries

(325 grams) all purpose flour

tsp baking powder

tsp salt

(168 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(310 grams) sugar

vegetable oil

tsp strawberry extract

tsp vanilla extract

eggs

(180 milliliters) milk

pink food color

oz (452 grams) cream cheese, room temperature

(280 grams) butter, room temperature

(1380 grams) powdered sugar

To make the strawberry reduction for the cake layers, add the strawberries to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. You should have about 1 1/4 cups of puree. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve and you should end up with about 1 cup of puree.

Add the puree to a medium sized saucepan and cook over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a slow boil, stirring consistently to keep it from burning, until it has thickened and reduced by half to 1/2 cup, about 15-20 minutes. To measure, pour the puree into a measuring cup. If it’s more than 1/2 cup, add it back to the pan and continue cooking.

When the puree has thickened and reduced, pour into a measuring cup or bowl and allow to cool to at least room temperature. This strawberry mixture can be made ahead, if you like, and stored in the fridge.

To make the cake layers, preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides.

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium sized bowl and set aside.

Add the butter, sugar, oil, strawberry extract and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and beat together on medium speed until light in color and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Do not skimp on the creaming time.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until mostly combined after each. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix until mostly combined.

Slowly add the milk, strawberry reduction and 8 drops of food color and mix until well combined.

Add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to be sure all ingredients are well incorporated. Do not over mix the batter.

Gently fold in additional food color until you have your desired shade of pink.

Divide the batter evenly between the cakes pans and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool for about 2-3 minutes, then remove to cooling racks to cool completely.

To make the frosting, add the cream cheese and butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until well combined and smooth.

Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. Add more or less powdered sugar, as desired for consistency purposes.

To put the cake together, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes so that they’re flat, if needed.

Place the first cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round.

Spread about 1 cup of frosting evenly on top of the cake,

Add the second layer of cake and another cup of frosting.

Top the cake with the remaining layer and frost the outside of the cake. Refer to my tutorial for frosting a smooth cake, if needed. To make the line pattern in the side of the cake, run a 9 inch offset spatula around the outside of the cake while turning your turntable. Start with the line at the bottom and work your way to the top.

Pipe shells of frosting on the top edge of the cake and the bottom, then decorate with strawberries, if desired.

Made this but substituted raspberry for strawberry. It was so good!

I was a tad nervous to try this cheesecake layer but it was awesome.  Came out beautiful.  Definitely going to make again

Recipe looks really good. I have a question though. Can I colour the icing ? If yes then at what stage can I add the colour?

Homemade Strawberry Cake

(400 grams) of quartered strawberries*

(60 milliliters) milk

(325 grams) all purpose flour (measured properly)

tsp baking soda

pink food color, optional

(46 grams) freeze dried strawberries*

(172 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(1150 grams) powdered sugar

strawberries

To make the strawberry reduction, add the strawberries to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. You should have about 1 1/2 cups of puree.

Add the puree to a medium sized saucepan and cook over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a slow boil, stirring consistently to keep it from burning, until it has thickened and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 20-25 minutes. To measure, pour the puree into a measuring cup. If it’s more than 3/4 cup, add it back to the pan and continue cooking.

When the puree has thickened and reduced, pour into a large measuring cup and allow to cool to at least room temperature. This strawberry mixture can be made ahead, if you like, and stored in the fridge.

Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C) and prepare three 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper in the bottom and baking spray on the sides.

Combine the strawberry reduction, sour cream, milk, eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl, then separate about 1 cup of the mixture into another bowl or measuring cup. About 1 1/2 cups should remain in the other bowl. Set both aside.

In a large mixer bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

With the mixer on the lowest speed, add the butter about a tablespoon at a time, allowing it to incorporate before adding the next tablespoon. As you add more butter, the mixture will start to clump together a bit a should end up resembling wet sand.

Add the larger of the reserved egg mixture (about 1 1/2 cups) to the dry ingredients/butter mixture. Stir on the lowest speed until it&#8217;s incorporated, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Increase the speed to medium high and beat until light and fluffy, about 45 seconds to one minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Turn the speed down to low and slowly add the remaining egg mixture in a slow stream until incorporated.

Scrape the sides of the bowl, then turn speed back up to medium high and mix until well combined, about 10-15 seconds.

Divide the batter evenly between the three cake pans and bake 24-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few crumbs.

Remove cakes from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then remove to cooling rack to cool completely.

To make the cakes

To make the frosting, add the freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and grind into a powder. It should give you a little more than half a cup of strawberry powder.

In a large mixer bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth.

Slowly add half of the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.

Slowly add remaining powdered sugar and strawberry powder and mix until smooth. Add some salt, to taste. Set aside.

To put the cake together, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes so that they’re flat. Refer to my tutorial, if needed. Place the first cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round.

Add about 1 cup of frosting to the top of the cake layer and spread evenly. Add about half of the chopped strawberries and press into the frosting.

Add the second layer of cake, another cup of frosting and the remaining chopped strawberries.

Top the cake with the remaining layer and frost the cake with the remaining frosting. Refer to my tutorial for frosting a smooth cake, if needed.
