Strawberry Cake - Extracts And Powders
Baking By sugarstorme Updated 13 Nov 2015 , 2:51am by Pastrybaglady
Evening all.
I've been tasked with making strawberry cupcakes and I've never had so many issues with a recipe trying to get it right and actually tasting like it should. I've used fresh strawberries before and they were VILE chucked them all away.. although I didn't cook them down.
From everything I've read on the internet, it appears that strawberry flavoured cake isn't so straightforward. I also don't really want to use jelly powder.
Can anyone recommend a brand that makes a decent extract and has anyone used strawberry powder and could you recommend a brand as all the ones I've looked at have had mixed reviews and I don't really want to splash out loads of cash testing different ones.
I'd really appreciate your help. :) x
Hero or Amoretti strawberry fruit compounds. Olive nation natural strawberry extract. Freeze dried strawberries pulverized, and I choose to sieve the seeds out. I don't notice much difference in brands of freeze dried items...........
reliable, constant supply line of tasty fresh strawberries that work well in baking, I find is hard to come by.
I've had really good success with the jello + puree combo. I think what put it over the top was adding puree and pulverized freeze dried strawberries to the SMBC. I think you get truer strawberry flavor in the icing rather than the cake. I made cupcakes for a teenager's birthday and my customer told me all the kids took a moment to just smell the cupcakes because the strawberry was so strong. Most people like a bit of contrast between the cake and frosting so I often do vanilla or white cake mixed with the berry icings.
