I used this recipe and added some LorAnn strawberry flavored oil in it (I got it at a grocery store called Meijer's)

It wasn't too "strawberry tasting" until I added the flavoring, but when I did - it turned out spectacular!!!! I added about 2-4 tiny capfuls of the oil (I had a very small bottle), but you could add it to taste and I used it as a filling. I did not use it on the outside, but I"m sure if you took regular buttercream and just used strawberry flavoring instead of vanilla, it would be pretty good too. It may turn the icing pink though - so be prepared for that!!!
I have one that I use from the Cake Mix Doctor...It's called Triple Decker Strawberry cake. The frosting is buttercream with pureed strawberries in it. If you would like the recipe for both, pm me and I will send it this evening when I get off work.
This is my tip of the day...Buy frozen sliced strawberries (in the plastic container) and puree in blender. Pour into ice trays and freeze. The pop out and put in freezer bag to future use. I add 4 cubes that I microwave a few seconds to my BC for strawberry frosting. Great for adding to cakes, too.
I LOVE the strawberry buttercream frosting from Cake Mix Doctor!
I am at work right now, so I don't have the recipes, but I think it's 1/4 C of strawberry puree per batch of buttercream. I think...:-\\
i was in a pinch for strawberry cake once, so i used a strawberry mix, added a box of cheese cake puddingt, used butter and whole milk, a little extra vanilla, then i folded in some smashed strawberries at the end and i ended up getting raves about it, don't have a good strawberry bc recipe though, could you add a little strawberry puree or nectar in place of your liquid for the bc?
