Moist Strawberry Cake Recipes

Steps:

• 1. PREPARING MACERATED STRAWBERRIES: Wash and remove stems before thinly slicing. Place in a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover and allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. Once macerated, use a fork to smash the berries. Set aside a 1/2 cup of drained strawberries for the frosting. Save the remaining berries and syrup for the cake.
• 2. CAKE: Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9 X 13 cake pan. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and gelatin thoroughly. Add oil, milk, eggs, and 1 cup of macerated berries with syrup and beat for 2 minutes in the mixer. Pour into pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick come out mostly clean. Allow to completely cool before frosting. If you have any remaining syrup you can simply pour it over the cake.
• 3. FROSTING: Cream together the butter, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup well-drained strawberries, and vanilla or strawberry extract. You can gradually add more sugar to get a thicker consistency if the frosting is to runny. Frost cake and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and dry strawberry gelatin until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs 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.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife 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.
