strawberry buttercream

This Homemade Strawberry Frosting is the BEST you'll ever make! And there's two different ways to achieve it! You can use fresh strawberries that have been reduced over the stove to increase flavor, or freeze dried strawberries!

Homemade Strawberry Frosting - Two Ways

strawberries strawberries

(224 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature

(460 grams) powdered sugar

3–4 tbsp (45-60 milliliters) water or cream, if needed

tsp vanilla extract

salt

If using fresh strawberries

, add the strawberries to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. You should have about 3/4 cups of puree.

2. Add the puree to a small 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 about 6 tbsp, about 10-15 minutes. To measure, pour the puree into a measuring cup. If it’s more than 6 tbsp (between 1/4 and 1/2 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.

. If using freeze dried strawberries, add them to a food processor and grind into a fine powder. Set aside.

. Regardless of which version you&#8217;re making, add the butter (and shortening, if using) to a large mixer bowl and beat until smooth.

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

. If using the strawberry reduction, add about 3 tablespoons of the reduction and beat until well combined and smooth. If using the freeze dried strawberries, add the powder and about 3 tablespoons of water or cream and beat until well combined and smooth.

. Add the vanilla extract and slowly add the remaining powdered sugar and beat until well combined and smooth.

. Add additional strawberry reduction/milk or cream until your frosting is the right consistency. Use your frosting on cakes, cupcakes, etc. Frosting can be left at room temperature for 1-2 days, but if you aren&#8217;t using it right away, I recommend refrigerating it for up to a week or freezing it for about a month.

Hello! For your strawberry buttercream, how many cupcakes would you say this amount of buttercream could frost?

I used the freeze dried strawberry method and it turned out great! Saved me some time and effort without sacrificing flavor! Thank you!

The icing turned out awesome. Thank you. Tom

So good!! I made this for a two layer cake I made. There was enough for the middle, too and sides!!

Best strawberry cupcake recipe ever, better than Cooks Illustrated.

Love your recipes, and this is a wonderful looking one! Excited to try it! I tried to save your recipe to Pinterest and it wasn't really working. So I created a pin and wanted to share with you because I think you deserve credit and the recipe deserves more platform! https://pin.it/5O5mk9J

Followed your recipe as is but it came out a tad watery. Any tricks on how to thicken it up?

I made this recently as I have been trying to duplicate a childhood favorite.  It was delicious.  I did not purée &amp; strain the strawberries I just mashed them up.  I rather like the strawberry seeds.

Thank you for some great tips to help me recreate a wonderful memory.

I was not thrilled when my son asked for strawberry frosting on his birthday cake, until I found this recipe! The use of freeze dried strawberries is brilliant! (BTW I got them at Trader Joe's). I could not stop eating this... Thank you so much!

I just made cupcakes with this recipe and they turned out great! 

Hey. Can I use a blender instead of food processor for the freeze dried strawberries

How to make a Strawberry Cake
Full Recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/strawberry-cake/

This moist and fluffy strawberry cake might just be the perfect birthday cake! It’s filled with strawberry and lemon buttercream and crowned with dainty strawberries and delicate buttercream roses. I flavored the cake a buttercream with strawberry preserves but you can make a fresh reduction if you have some spare fruit and a few extra minutes. This cake is a TOTAL crowd pleaser so be forewarned, you might need to double or triple the recipe as people will be going in for seconds!
Decorating this cake wasn't as difficult as you might think! I was a little bold and didn't crumbcoat it but I do recommend covering and chilling the cake after you assemble it. If you see it leaning then just add a skewer through it like I did before chilling. I loved the way these RED buttercream roses looked but if you're short on time or piping tips just add a crown of strawberries! You can probably tell but I had an epic summer cold when I filmed this, voice so gravely...

The best keto cake with chocolate cake layers and strawberry buttercream! Tastes amazing!

Chocolate Strawberry Keto Cake Recipe (video)

tsp coffee extract; optional

almond flour

granulated erythritol

cocoa powder

refined coconut oil (melted)

unsalted butter (softed)

erythritol

tsp strawberry emulsion or extract

tbsp sugar-free strawberry preserves

red food coloring; optional

strawberries (for filling)

strawberries (for garnish)

Prepare the keto chocolate sponge cake first. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C and prepare three, 8-inch cake pans by lining the bottom with parchment paper; leave the sides ungreased. Place the eggs into a mixer bowl and whisk on high speed for 4 to 6 minutes, until the eggs are fluffy, voluminous and pale in color. Add the vanilla and coffee extracts and whisk again for 30 seconds.

In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder and cocoa powder. Sift the dry ingredients into the eggs in three small increments, folding gently but thoroughly after each addition. Watch my video recipe to see how it&#39;s done. Add in the coconut oil last and very gently fold it into the batter for about 30 seconds; it does not need to be mixed in thoroughly.

Divide the prepared cake batter evenly between the three pans; use a kitchen scale if desired. Use an offset spatula to spread the cake batter evenly to the edges. Bake the cake layers for 17 to 19 minutes, just until the cake batter is set; the top of the cake layers will be glossy and bubble. Remove the layers from the oven and onto a cooling rack to cool. After about 15 minutes, run a knife along the edges of the pans to release the cake layers, gently invert the cake, remove the parchment paper and allow to cool completely. The cake layers will be fragile; handle with care! If a layer splits, that's perfectly fine; the buttercream will keep it together!

For Chocolate Cake Layers:

Once the layers are cooled, prepare the strawberry keto buttercream. Place the softened butter into a mixer bowl and whisk on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes, until the butter is light, fluffy and almost white in color. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl often to ensure that all the butter gets whisked.

Next, add in the powdered erythritol and mix it in on the lowest speed for about 1 minute, until incorporated. Once incorporated, turn the mixer up to high speed and continue whisking for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the buttercream is light and fluffy. Add the strawberry extract and sugar-free preserves last and whisk for up to 30 seconds, or until well combined. Transfer about 1 1/2 cups of the buttercream into a pastry bag tipped with a star tip; I used Ateco #847.

For Strawberry Buttercream:

To assemble the cake, spread a medium amount of buttercream onto the first layer and use an offset spatula to spread the buttercream evenly. Pipe a barrier ring of frosting along the edge of the cake layer, then add in 1 cup of the diced strawberries; the barrier will help keep the strawberries inside. Press the strawberries gently into the buttercream to keep them in place.

Repeat the same process for the second cake layer and top with the last one. Frost the top and sides of the cake, spreading evenly with offset spatulas and cake spatulas. After applying a crumb coat, freeze or refrigerate the cake for at least 10 minutes, then add the final layer of frosting. Garnish the cake with dollops of the remaining buttercream and fresh strawberries. Keep the cake refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Assembling the Cake:

KETO Chocolate Strawberry Cake Recipe - Low-Carb, Low-Sugar Cake Recipe!!

Moist, tender peanut butter cake is topped with a smooth strawberry buttercream frosting. This cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion and will be requested again and again!

Peanut Butter Cake with Strawberry Frosting

baking powder

baking soda

vegetable oil

dark brown sugar

peanut butter

eggs (room temperature)

vanilla extract

buttermilk (room temperature)

butter (softened)

half and half (or milk)

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Farhenheit (232 °C). Spray a 9x13 baking pan with baking spray and set aside.

To a large mixing bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the ingredients to combine and set aside.

To the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and peanut butter. Mix the ingredients on medium (5-6 on a stand mixer) until combined, about 2-3 minutes.

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat on medium-low after adding each egg until no more egg is visible.

Alternate adding the flour mixture and buttermilk to the peanut butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Beat on medium after each addition just until ingredients are combined. This means until no more dry flour or buttermilk are visible in the batter. Add vanilla and beat until just combined.

Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out in an even layer with a silicone spatula. Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with no wet batter.

Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Do this by very carefully turning the cake out onto parchment paper then carefully flipping it onto a parchment-lined wire cooling rack.

While the cake is cooling add the freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until they form a fine powder and set aside.

Add butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium-high (speed of 7-8) until smooth and creamy, about 3 minutes. Add strawberries, powdered sugar, half and half or milk, vanilla, and salt to the mixer bowl and beat on low then gradually increase speed as powdered sugar mixes into the frosting.

Continue to beat until ingredients are combined and the frosting is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Do not overmix the frosting as this can cause it to separate.

Spoon frosting out on top of the completely cooled cake and use a frosting spatula to smooth frosting out into an even layer over the cake. Slice and enjoy!

Learn how to make a fresh, beautiful, naturally vibrant and pink strawberry frosting using either fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried berries! Be sure to check out the how-to video!

Strawberry Frosting (with fresh, frozen, or freeze-dried berries)

oz quartered fresh strawberries

unsalted butter (softened (226 grams))

sugar (500 grams)

heavy cream

Place quartered strawberries in a small saucepan over medium heat and add 1 Tablespoon of water (this will keep the berries from burning to the bottom of the pan).

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries release their juices, then grab a fork or potato masher and mash the berries into a pulp.

Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is reduced in volume and thickened to a thick paste (similar in consistency to tomato paste) and most of the water is cooked out.

Place in a heatproof container and let cool to room temperature before proceeding. You can speed up the process by placing the strawberry reduction in the refrigerator.

Combine softened butter, a bit of the powdered sugar (about 1 cup) and vanilla extract and salt in a large bowland use an electric mixer to beat until creamy and well-combined. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar until it has all been added.

Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and add the cooled strawberry paste. Stir until completely combined, pausing to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Don&#39;t over-mix, but ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

Pipe or spread frosting onto cake or cupcakes. Enjoy!

For fresh/frozen berries

Place freeze dried berries in a small food processor and pulse until they’ve become a fine powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine butter, about 1 cup of powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt until completely combined. Gradually add remaining powdered sugar until all has been added.

Add strawberry powder and stir until combined. The frosting will become stiff. Gradualy add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until you’ve reached a desirable, pipe-able consistency (I typically need 3 Tablespoons of cream, but your mileage may vary and add the cream slowly).
