This strawberry cake with fresh strawberry puree looks great if decorated with mint leaves and strawberries.
Ingredients
Frosting
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
- 4 tablespoons fresh strawberries, pureed, or more as needed
- 1 cup fresh strawberries
- 8 leaves fresh mint leaves
Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Beat eggs, 1 cup strawberry puree, melted butter, and milk until combined. Add to flour mixture; whisk until combined. Pour batter into the prepared cake pans.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then invert onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
Step 5
Make the frosting while the cakes cool. Pour melted butter into a large bowl and sift in confectioners' sugar. Add enough pureed strawberries to make a spreadable frosting.
Step 6
Frost the cooled cakes and garnish with fresh strawberries and mint.
Cook’s Note:
You can also use frozen, thawed strawberries if desired.
