BEST EVER STRAWBERRY CAKE



Best Ever Strawberry Cake image

This type of strawberry cake recipe with all-natural strawberry flavoring (no gelatin) is quite rare and difficult to find. This strawberry cake tastes light and fresh, never too sweet. A truly excellent recipe that always turns out fluffy and oh-so moist. Topped with the rich and delicious cream cheese frosting, this cake is truly the best ever. It was a handwritten recipe I found in my mom's recipe book, but I assume she found it elsewhere.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the strawberry purée: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Remove the pot from the heat and let the purée cool completely. The purée can be made 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line 2 9-inch (22 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
