I have THREE cakes to make this week! One, is a hummingbird which is my favorite! I'm looking very forward to making this cake. : ) However, I have two ladies who want strawberry cakes. One cake is for a birthday and the other is for a friend who has been very kind to my family. I don't want to do the jello thing guys. I don't like strawberry flavored anything but they do and I'm really hoping these cakes will ((amazing)). Who can help?
Google 'strawberry cake recipe' - there are dozens of suggestions for you to choose from.
I would add maybe 1/2 to 3/4 cup puree or chopped berries to each white batter/recipe. Use your favorite recipe. OR another way to go is to swirl good quality jam through the batter for a marbled cake.
Jam... I never thought of that @kakeladi. Target has a fruit "spread" and it is DELICIOUS! Yes, I looked up some and a lot said use strawberry puree but I'm scared the cakes won't be firm enough. Maybe I can reduce them on the stove to make them thicker...hmm....
For vanilla, I use cake mix @kcp2264. I've tried to do from scratch white/yellow cake and it doesn't come out right. Duncan Hines has an excellent mix. No one can tell if its doctored so its the best of both worlds! : )
I found it!!!! Whooooo hooooooooooo https://www.cakecentral.com/recipe/15348/summers-scratch-strawberry-cake
i'm a jello kid -- i tested different recipes back when and the only thing that worked for moi was the jello plus fresh strawberries -- i know that's not your thing -- just saying --
i got to go to one of the world pastry forums when it was in nashville one year -- omg it was wonderful -- one chef explained his seemingly endless journey to make a satisfactory strawberry ice cream to please the head chef -- tried everything -- then he added some nestle strawberry milk powder stuff -- that one added flavor finally hit it with the head chef and the ice cream got the green light to go on the menu -- all that to say -- flavors are such an interesting study -- i forget the ratio now but essentially they said you need a certain amount of known familiar flavors to the rest being new flavors --
so me being a jello kid as i grew up -- the jello in the cake made it for me -- the strawberry powder made it for that head chef -- so just food for thought -- something as straight forward as strawberry can get quite complicated huh --
hope it goes great -- happy thanksgiving :)
Stella Parks has a scratch strawberry cake recipe I really want to try.
@K8memphis I actually saw strawberry jello that was on sale yesterday and said screw it. I'll make it taste good anyway. lol Strawberry Quick...fancy that. : )
@JustOneMoreCake Is her recipe on here?
@CupCake.Goddess - no, it isn't. It's on Serious Eats, though. Wait, is that not okay to mention? Go ahead and delete this msg if it isn't.
cc goddess --i can't find that cookbook -- but i used milk for the liquid in a white cake mix with the package of jello and some cut strawberries -- cut small enough so the cake still serves well -- i might have tossed them in flour or cake mix first -- they do tend to settle some but it still makes a lovely layer of strawberry in there
That sounds lovely -k8 memphis! I did make it with the jello and it turned out very well. I'm going to try your recipe the next time she asks for one. The hummingbird cake was a hit and I made my first ever, from scratch white cake!! My friends loved all three!
Why wouldn't that be okay to mention JustOneMoreCake? *confused*
