This is the best strawberry cake recipe Ive ever tried, and Ive tried lots!
It stays moist for several days, too.
We never see it make it beyond day two at my house, though.
Its absolutely a must-try dessert recipe, and its not very hard to make, either.
This cake is pretty simple to make.
I was surprised how quickly this came together for a homemade, made completely from-scratch cake.
The star here is fresh strawberries, so I use them to decorate the cake.
Parchment paper really helps the cakes release from your pans without sticking.
Step Two
Make the strawberry puree.
Alternately, use frozen strawberries that are thawed.
Step Three
Heres where the cake mix begins.
Step FiveUse a mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until they are fluffy and light.
High speed works best here and it should take about two minutes.
Add the egg whites, beating them until incorporated.
Next, add the whole eggs to this mixture.
Step Six
Add half of the dry ingredients and mix until incorporated.
Step Seven
Now, add the wet ingredients.
Step Eight
Mix in the remaining half of the dry ingredients, stopping when the flour disappears.
Step Nine
Divide the batter between the 2 cake pans, smoothing the top.
Bake the strawberry cakes at 350 degrees F for about 25 minutes or until baked through.
To check for doneness, check the center with a toothpick.
If it comes out clean, they are finished baking.
Let them cool completely before frosting.
Step Ten
While the cakes are baking, make the frosting.
Using a mixer, cream the butter and cream cheese until fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar slowly on low until incorporated.
Add vanilla and strawberry puree last.
Then add the next layer and spread frosting and on the sides and top of the cake.
