How to Make Strawberry Cake from scratch
Prepare your kitchen by preheating the oven to 350°F and preparing the cake pans. Make the strawberry puree by blending the berries. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, whisk the sugar, puree, yogurt, vegetable oil, and eggs. Combine the wet and dry mixtures. Divide the batter between 3 cake pans and bake. While that’s baking, start making the compote by adding all of the ingredients to a saucepan. Simmer. Once the compote has a syrupy consistency, pour it into a bowl to cool. Cool the baked cakes. Make the cream cheese frosting by whisking all of the ingredients together in an electric mixer. Fill a piping bag with the frosting. Assemble the cake layers. Once frosted, pour the remaining compote on top of the cake. Complete the frosting process by adding swirls. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
