Strawberry Ribbon Cake image

This recipe came out of my mom's first cookbook, a Family Circle cookbook she bought as a newlywed in 1972. She's been making this wonderful cake ever since. She baked it for my last birthday, and I must say it's still my favorite cake!

Time 1h

Yield 1 8-inch four-layer cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups sifted cake flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (2 sticks/8 oz.)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon red food coloring
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese
4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1/3 cup mashed fresh strawberries
1 (1 lb) package confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the cake:.
  • Grease two baking pans, 8x8x2; dust with flour.
  • Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt onto wax paper. Cream butter until soft in a large bowl; beat in sugar gradually until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fluffy again, then flavorings.
  • Stir in flour mixture, alternately with milk, just until blended. Spoon half the batter into one pan; stir food coloring into remaining batter; pour into second pan. Bake in moderate oven (375°F) 35 minutes, or until centers spring back when pressed with fingertip. Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; turn out onto racks; cool completely.
  • Split each cooled layer; put together, alternating pink and yellow, with part of the strawberry butter cream; frost sides and top with remaining.
  • For the Strawberry Butter Cream:.
  • Blend cream cheese with butter until fluffy in a medium-size bowl; beat in strawberries. Stir in 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the mixture for filling. Beat remaining confectioners' sugar into remaining mixture in bowl for frosting.
