mdt Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Anyone have a good recipe for a strawberry cake? Could I just make a white cake and substitute some of the liquid for pureed strawberries? Will the cake be pink after it's baked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I don't have anything handy right now, but I remember reading in the Cake Bible that for good strawberry flavor, freeze berries then thaw, puree, strain and then microwave the liquid (with a few drops of lemon juice added) down to about 1/3 of the original volume for good essence-of-strawberry flavor. Berenbaum said the freezing/thawing was important because it released more of the juices on a cellular level. I also remember her saying that berries frozen with sugar added was OK. You could add in some of the strained pulp for more color in the cake itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenticket Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I know nothing about this blog and haven't tried the recipe, but this one does look pretty good! A long-ago coworker made the best strawberry cake and I wish I'd gotten the recipe from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
