Description

A moist strawberry cake from scratch. We don't use box cakes.

Ingredients

  • 2 c sugar
  • 1 c butter, softened
  • 2 3⁄4 c flour
  • 2 1⁄2 t baking powder
  • 1 T vanilla
  • 1⁄2 c strawberry puree
  • 1 pk gelatin, strawberry (3 ounces)
  • 4 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 c milk (room temperature)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans or springform pans.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter (let soften to room temperature), sugar and dry strawberry gelatin (about 3 ounces) until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs (also at room temperature) one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternately with the milk. Blend in vanilla and strawberry puree. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in their pans over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before tapping out to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure your eggs and butter and milk are at room temperature before mixing, or it will mess up the structure of the cake.
