BEST EVER STRAWBERRY CAKE
This type of strawberry cake recipe with all-natural strawberry flavoring (no gelatin) is quite rare and difficult to find. This strawberry cake tastes light and fresh, never too sweet. A truly excellent recipe that always turns out fluffy and oh-so moist. Topped with the rich and delicious cream cheese frosting, this cake is truly the best ever. It was a handwritten recipe I found in my mom's recipe book, but I assume she found it elsewhere.

Steps:
- MAKE THE CAKE:.
- Grease three 8 inch round cake pans and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy about 5 minutes.
- Add sour cream and mix until well combined.
- Add eggs in two batches and mix until well combined each time.
- Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl.
- Add in half of the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not overmix.
- Add in strawberry puree and strawberry extract and mix until well combined. Do not overmix.
- Add in the other half of the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. Do not overmix.
- Optional: Add drops of pink food coloring to batter until you reach the desired color.
- Divide batter into the three greased cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool 10 minutes on rack and remove from pans and cool completely on rack.
- MAKE THE FROSTING:.
- Beat the sugar and shortening together until smooth.
- Add 6 cups of powdered sugar 2 cups at a time and mix until smooth.
- Add strawberry puree and extract and mix well.
- Add other 6 cups of powdered sugar 2 cups at a time and mix until smooth.
- Add pink coloring until desired color is reached.
- ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:.
- Spread 2 T of strawberry jam on the top of 2 of the cake layers (these will be the bottom 2 layers of the cake.
- Spread 1 cup of strawberry frosting on top of one of those layers.
- Put the other layer, with strawberry preserves on it, on top of that layer and spread that one with 1 cup of strawberry frosting.
- Place the last layer (no strawberry preserves on this one) on the very top and spread with 1 cup of strawberry frosting.
- Use the remaining frosting (and there will be a lot) to frost the sides and top of the cake and decorations.
- I suggest you crumb coat the cake and put it in the freezer for 15 minutes and then frost the cake so the sides and top are smooth or any other way you desire. Decorate with shells or flowers or dots by using piping tips.

STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
The fresh, natural flavors you get from making your own strawberry puree is worth the time. This cake and its frosting also gets its rosy hue from fresh strawberries rather than food coloring.

Steps:
- For the puree: Pulse the strawberries in a food processor, scraping as needed, until a smooth puree forms. Add the strawberry puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the puree reduces by half (to about 1 cup). Transfer the puree to a bowl and set aside to cool.
- For the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment rounds; lightly coat parchment with nonstick spray.
- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, oil and vanilla in another bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the whole eggs and yolks one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, until the batter is completely combined, smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in 1/2 cup of the cooled strawberry puree. Reserve the rest of the puree for the frosting.
- Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Smooth the tops. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the cakes are a light golden brown and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the wire rack. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in the butter, beating until smooth. Sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Remove 3 cups of the frosting to a medium bowl and set aside. Fold the reserved strawberry puree into the remaining frosting. Refrigerate both until slightly chilled and firm, about 20 minutes.
- To assemble the cake: Place one cake domed-side down on a platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the strawberry frosting evenly over the top. Place the remaining cake domed-side up on top. Spread the top and sides of the cake with 1 1/2 cups of the white frosting. Smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat. (It's okay if some of the cake shows through. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set.
- Spread the remaining white frosting on the top of the cake and the upper half of the sides. There should be a band all around the bottom of the cake with the crumb coat exposed. Fill in the exposed area with 1 cup of the strawberry frosting. Use a large offset spatula to smooth the top and sides of the cake. The strawberry and white frostings should blend together during smoothing to create an ombre effect. Transfer the remaining strawberry frosting to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe 8 rosettes evenly spaced along the top border of the cake.
BEST STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE
For a dazzling summer dessert, you can't beat juicy strawberries and fresh whipped cream over homemade shortcake. My father added even more indulgence to this recipe by buttering the shortcake. This is the best strawberry shortcake recipe. -Shirley Joan Helfenbein, Lapeer, Michigan.

Steps:
- FOR THE CAKE:.
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees.
- Grease and flour round 9 by 2-inch cake pan (pan must be at least 2" high!) or 9-inch springform pan and line with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and all but 3 tablespoons sugar in mixing bowl.
- Whisk in 2 whole eggs and 3 yolks (reserving whites), butter, water, and vanilla; whisk until smooth.
- In clean bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat remaining 3 egg whites at medium-low speed until frothy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- With machine running, gradually add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, increase speed to medium-high, and beat until soft peaks form, 60 to 90 seconds.
- Stir one-third of whites into batter to lighten; add remaining whites and gently fold into batter until no white streaks remain.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into center of cake comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert cake onto greased wire rack; peel off and discard parchment.
- Invert cake again; cool completely, about 2 hours.
- FOR THE STRAWBERRY FILLING:
- Halve 24 of best-looking berries and reserve.
- Quarter remaining berries; toss with 4 to 6 tablespoons sugar (depending on sweetness of berries) in medium bowl and let sit 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Strain juices from berries and reserve (you should have about 1/2 cup).
- In workbowl of food processor fitted with metal blade, give macerated berries five 1-second pulses (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
- In small saucepan over medium-high heat, simmer reserved juices and Kirsch until syrupy and reduced to about 3 tablespoons, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour reduced syrup over macerated berries, add pinch of salt, and toss to combine.
- Set aside until cake is cooled.
- FOR THE WHIPPED CREAM:.
- When cake has cooled, place cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and salt in bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment.
- Whisk at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes, scraping down bowl with rubber spatula as needed.
- Reduce speed to low and add heavy cream in slow, steady stream; when almost fully combined, increase speed to medium-high and beat until mixture holds stiff peaks, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes more, scraping bowl as needed (you should have about 4 1/2 cups).
- TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:
- Using large serrated knife, slice cake into three even layers.
- Place bottom layer on cardboard round or cake plate and arrange ring of 20 strawberry halves, cut sides down and stem ends facing out, around perimeter of cake layer.
- Pour 1/2 of pureed berry mixture (about 3/4 cup) in center, then spread to cover any exposed cake.
- Gently spread about one-third of whipped cream (about 1 1/2 cups) over berry layer, leaving 1/2-inch border from edge.
- Place middle cake layer on top and press down gently (whipped cream layer should become flush with cake edge).
- Repeat with 20 additional strawberry halves, remaining berry mixture, and half of remaining whipped cream; gently press last cake layer on top.
- Spread remaining whipped cream over top; decorate with remaining cut strawberries.
- Serve, or chill for up to 4 hours.
