Saturday Share - Mom's Strawberry Layer Cake
I find winter makes me wish for spring and summer.
Even though our winter has been lovely and warm this year, I long for a summery, light cake for dessert.
I was thinking about the strawberry cake my Mom used to make—delicious and light tasting with a luscious strawberry butter cream frosting.
My mother was an amazing cook, and this was one of her best cakes. I believe I included it in my cake bake book which I’m currently updating.
Thinking about it makes me want to make it, and today is the perfect time to make this cake for the weekend.
It’s not difficult to make because you use a box cake mix.
The cake recipe is followed by the frosting recipe.
MOM’S STRAWBERRY CAKE
Ingredients for Cake
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 package strawberry Jello
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (I’m going to try butter at room temperature. I’ll let you know how it turned out next Saturday.)
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 eggs
- 10 ounces of strawberries
Directions
- Prep the strawberries. If using fresh, wash, remove stems, pat dry, and slice. If using frozen, do not use the ones with added sugar. Thaw, drain well, and chop them.
- Prepare 2 nine-inch cake pans with baking spray or butter and lightly flour.
- Blend the cake mix and the Jello in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the oil and the water to the bowl, beating for 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
- Fold in the strawberries.
- Pour into the prepared baking pans.
- Bake 40 minutes at 325°F (165°C).
- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out “clean,” it’s ready.
- Remove from oven and let the cakes set in the pans for 5 minutes before turning them out.
- Cool completely then frost with Strawberry Buttercream Frosting.
