" Fresh Strawberry cake "

Everyone knows that I’m crazy about strawberries. I do remember those days when my friends made fun of me for eating strawberry flavored ice cream. Sometimes in 2003 or 2004 I ate these berries for the first time in my life and you can say since then I’m madly in love with these. Shakes, ice creams, lemonade, cookies and many more. 

I searched for the recipe of strawberry cake but almost every recipe has box mix or jello and I needed a recipe which doesn’t have any artificial colors, flavors etc. So finally I got a recipe which requires everything from scratch and fresh. I’ve added more puree for that extra taste and flavor. I didn't add cornflour, if you want you can add it. I baked this cake for Surprise/hidden heart cake whose recipe will be the next on blog.

For strawberry puree

Strawberry – 200gms

Granulated Sugar – 2 tbsp

For the cake

All purpose flour – 1 1/8 cup

Unsalted butter – 6 tbsp or 78 gms

Strawberry puree – ¾ cup

Vanilla extract – 1tsp (optional)

Milk – ¼ cup

Powdered Sugar – ½ cup + 1/3 cup

Baking powder – 2tsp

Egg – 2

Salt – ½ tsp

Cornflour – 1 tbsp (optional)

Method

1. Pre-heat oven at 180 degrees and grease a baking sheet or even you can use muffin mould too.

2. In a bowl chop strawberries and mix it with sugar and leave it for an hour.

3. Blend the SBs in a blender and make a puree.

4. Sift Flour with salt and baking soda and keep aside.

5. In another big bowl cream the butter with the help of a beater. Add powdered sugar into it and blend again till fluffy and light.

6. Now add Eggs one by one while blending. Now add vanilla extract, SB puree and milk into the mixture.

7. Now fold the flour slowly into the wet ingredients. 

8.Now pour this into the prepared baking sheet or muffin mould. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 

I bet you can’t stop eating this cake. It is so flavorful and tasty.

Enjoy!
