strawberry cake trials


 

Bake at 350°F  BUNDT PAN around 40 minutes 

  • 2 cups granulated sugar 400g
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 3/4 cup oil (avocado) or 1 cup butter softened (227g)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup liquid: milk, soda water, alt milk, water 120ml
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberry puree  (120ml)
  • cups all-purpose flour 
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 TB baking powder

Make the strawberry puree, into a blender add in around 16 oz of fresh strawberries, 2 TB sugar and puree until smooth. 

Place the puree in a pot and simmer on low to reduce by half.
Cool the puree off before adding to the batter. 

Into a stand mixer or beat by hand, add the eggs and sugar and beat on high for 5 minutes. 
Next slowly add in the oil, pour in a slow stream not to break the eggs/sugar. 
Finish with the water, strawberry puree, and vanilla and stir to combine. 

Sift the dry ingredients together and then add in to the wet ingredients in a few batches. DO NOT OVER MIX, the batter can be a bit shaggy. 

In a greased and parchment paper pan of choice (i am using a bundt pan) pour the batter into the pan and place in the middle rack of the oven. 

BAKE 350°F 35 minutes or until the skewer comes out clean

cool completely before frosting the cake. 

I am using the Honey Buttercream frosting from the orange pistachio cake. 

#1 TEST: baked in 43 minutes
