Pink From Scrátch Stráwberry Cáke for Válentine's Dáy

It's hárd to find á stráwberry cáke recipe thát doesn't stárt with "Buy á box of stráwberry cáke mixes." Now, I'm not sáying thát I háve something ábout á cáke box mix. It's just not whát I developed together, ánd not whát feels right to me. So thát's why this stráwberry cáke recipe mákes me very háppy. Still using the Jello box, but believe me, thát's good.

Scrátch Stráwberry Cáke Recipe

• 2 cups sugár
• 1 3 oz box of stráwberry gelátin
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 t sált
• 2 1/2 t báking powder
• 2 3/4 cups flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2 t vánillá
• 1/2 cup stráwberry puree
• 1/2 á páckáge (ábout .6 oz) freeze dried stráwberries

This recipe is greát when I only use fresh stráwberries ánd stráwberry gelátin. But when I decided to try ádding frozen frozen stráwberries, WOW. ámázing stráwberry flávor! Don't be tempted to skip the spices; it reálly mákes á big difference.

Instructions

1. Preheát the oven to 350 degrees Fáhrenheit.
2. Beát with sugár, butter, ánd stráwberry gelátin, until the mixture is good ánd smooth.
3. Beát eggs, one át á time, ánd máke sure to mix well áfter eách egg is ádded. Don't be tempted to throw áll the eggs át once! Doing it one by one reálly mákes á big difference in this recipe.
4. ádd sált, vánillá, ánd báking powder, stráwberry puree, ánd stir.
5. ádd flour ánd milk, álternáting between wet ánd dry. With thát, I meán ádd á little milk, then ádd one portion of flour, then ádd á little milk, etc.
6. áfter áll the flour ánd milk háve been ádded, ádd frozen stráwberries to frozen ánd mix one more, until it is included.
7. Divide the dough between the two 8 round cáke páns. "You cán butter ánd flour the cáke pán, or do whát I do. Cut the circle of wáx páper or párchment páper ánd line the bottom of the pán with it. When the cáke comes out of the oven, run the knife áround the edge of the pán, ánd the liner will máke the cáke pop out when you flip the pán. Just remember to remove it before coáting the cáke!
8. Báke át 350 for ábout 45 minutes, or until the toothpick comes out cleán.

This cáke is very tásty with simple cheese ice creám. ádd some simple decorátions (this only tákes five minutes, the top, to be thrown together), ánd you will get án impressive Válentine's Dáy, ánd more importántly delicious.

Enjoy!!!.....
