Faqs

Could I Use All-Purpose Flour Instead of Cake Flour?
Cake flour is ideal for this strawberry cake recipe with fresh strawberries. It makes the vanilla cake lighter and gives it the best texture.

Could I Use Frozen Strawberries Instead of Fresh?
For the best flavor, use fresh strawberries. Defrosted frozen strawberries won’t work as well in this recipe.

Tips for the Best Strawberry Cake
Allow the vanilla cake layers to cool completely before adding the frosting.
You can add a few drops of red food coloring to the frosting to give it a lovely pink color if you like.
If you only have salted butter, use less salt in the cake batter.
