Strawberry Cake Ingredients for the Cake 10 ounces frozen whole strawberries, thawed 3/4 cup whole milk 6 egg whites 2 teaspoons vanilla 2 1/4 cups cake flour 1 3/4 cups sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 12 Tablespoons butter, room temperature Ingredients for the Frosting: 10 Tablespoons butter 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar 12 ounces cream cheese 8 ounces fresh strawberries, sliced thin Filling 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1/4 cup powdered sugar Cake Put strawberries in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Place in a strainer over a saucepan and press fruit until dry. (Save solids) Bring strawberry juice ot a boil and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup and thick and syrupy. Whisk milk into juice. Whisk together strawberry milk, egg whites and vanilla. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in bowl of mixer. Add butter, 1 piece at a time until pea sized pieces remain. Add milk, half at a time and beat until just combined. (I added a little bit of pink food coloring too.) Scrape batter into two 9 inch greased cake pans. * Dont forget to grease the pan Bake 25 minutes at 350. *The cake is done and ready when an inserted wooden skewer or cake tester comes out clean Or until cake springs back when lightly touched with fingers. Cool on wire racks. Place 1 of the cake layers on a cake plate. For frosting: Mix butter and sugar in mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in cream cheese, 1 ounce at a time. (and a little bit of pink food coloring) Beat in strawberry solids. Spoon some of the frosting into a pastry bag and pipe a circle around the outside of the bottom cake layer. Whip whipped cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Spoon into middle of bottom cake layer. Top with a layer of thinly sliced strawberries. Place another cake layer on top of filling. Spread a thin coat of frosting over entire cake as a crumb coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Apply remaining frosting. Cut a slice and enjoy. Note: It doesnt use strawberry jello or any artificial strawberry flavors, it uses REAL strawberries for the truest - most delicious - strawberry flavor. ** You can also used the steaming method in making a cake. And be sure to cover with aluminum foil when steaming it. Ciao!
