Strawberry Cake Recipe And Tips

Snow should be on the ground, but spring is correct around the corner. What better method to celebrate the change of season than with a house-baked strawberry cake?

While strawberry season traditionally runs June through mid-August, as of late, because of improvements in horticultural techniques, you could find ripe strawberries in the produce section of your favourite supermarket as early as April. And when you're craving spring in February, you need to use frozen strawberries. The cake might be just as delicious.

However put that box of Jello back on the shelf! You won't want it, and also you won't need synthetic meals coloring either. This is strawberry cake because it was meant to be - melt-in-your-mouth luscious and a hundred% natural.

Ingredients:
-three/4 cup strawberry puree (recipe under)
-1/4 cup milk
-6 giant egg whites
-1 Tbsp vanilla extract
-2 1/4 cup cake flour, sifted
-1 3/4 cup sugar
-4 tsp baking powder
-1 tsp salt
-12 Tbsp unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks)

Yields: Two 8 inch cake layers

An hour before you start, take the strawberry puree, milk, and eggs out of your refrigerator so they are at room temperature once you blend them. Half an hour later, take out the butter - it should not be at room temperature, however it'll must be "softened."

Preheat your oven to 350. Line 8 inch round cake pans with aluminum foil, spray with baking spray (do not overdo!) and lightly mud with flour.

Separate your egg whites. Then mix the strawberry puree, milk, egg whites and vanilla with a fork in a small bowl.

Within the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, sift collectively the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Connect the bowl to the mixer, and then s-l-o-w-l-y start beating within the butter. The ensuing combination ought to appear like crumbs.

Add the strawberry puree mix to the blending bowl, somewhat at a time. Beat the resulting mixture at medium speed for a minute till everything is blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then combine for another 30 seconds.

Pour the combination into the cake pans, dividing evenly and smoothing the tops. Bake for approximately 25 minutes - time will vary depending upon your altitude and the way evenly your oven heats. One of the simplest ways to inform if your cake is baked is at all times the old toothpick trick - stick a toothpick into the center of the cake and if it comes out clean, you are good.

The cakes will need to cool for ten minutes earlier than you turn them over onto your cake rack. And they need to be at room temperature (one other two hours) earlier than you frost them.

Strawberry puree:

Three boxes of ripe strawberries or 24 oz.of frozen strawberries

Yield: 1 and 1/4 cups strawberry puree.

In case you're using frozen strawberries, you will want to defrost them earlier than you employ them, making sure to remove all the surplus liquid that you just can.

Fresh strawberries will have to be washed, hulled, sliced and sprinkled with two teaspoons of sugar. Let them sit at room temperature for 2 hours earlier than you utilize them.

After the strawberries are prepped, just pop them right into a meals processor or blender and hit "puree."

Inactive Module

You should publish modules to the "inactive" position and set the Menus to "All", for them to show up on pages where there is no active menu ID. This is a bug/feature of Joomla that causes only menu items in the "All" setting to show up.
