AUNT KATE'S STRAWBERRY CAKE



Aunt Kate's Strawberry Cake image

This recipe dates back to the early 1900's and was made by my grandmother's sister Kate. I have the fondest memories of my grandmother and my mother making this when strawberries came into season. The cake itself is not very sweet, although the icing is. The balance is perfect. I make this for many occasions, and my secret taste testers have remarked how wonderful it is. Just a side note: using fresh, sweet strawberries is the key.

Time 45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup white sugar
½ cup shortening
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup butter, room temperature
¼ cup mashed fresh strawberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a cake pan.
  • Beat white sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat eggs, one at a time, into sugar mixture until well mixed; stir in vanilla extract.
  • Stir 1 cup strawberries and baking soda in a large bowl until baking soda is dissolved. This will help strawberries foam and rise in the cake.
  • Whisk flour and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture and strawberry mixture by hand, into sugar mixture, alternating flour mixture, then strawberry mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1/4 cup strawberries in a bowl with an electric mixer until blended; frost the cooled strawberry cake.

STRAWBERRY CAKE FROM SCRATCH



Strawberry Cake from Scratch image

It is hard to find scratch strawberry cakes, so this one is worth it weight in gold to me as a caterer. I made this cake for a child's birthday party. It was a major hit! Frost with cream cheese or vanilla frosting - or for a treat, use a chocolate glaze!
