A double strawberry cake is a delightful treat that features the sweet and fruity flavor of strawberries in both the cake and the frosting. Here’s a recipe to make a delicious double strawberry cake:Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
For the frosting:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Additional fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced strawberries into the cake batter.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread a layer of frosting on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
- If desired, garnish the top of the cake with additional fresh strawberries.
- Slice and serve the double strawberry cake, and enjoy!
This cake is perfect for birthdays, celebrations, or any time you’re craving a delicious strawberry-flavored treat!
