STRAWBERRY RIBBON CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake:.
• Grease two baking pans, 8x8x2; dust with flour.
• Sift cake flour, baking powder, and salt onto wax paper. Cream butter until soft in a large bowl; beat in sugar gradually until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fluffy again, then flavorings.
• Stir in flour mixture, alternately with milk, just until blended. Spoon half the batter into one pan; stir food coloring into remaining batter; pour into second pan. Bake in moderate oven (375°F) 35 minutes, or until centers spring back when pressed with fingertip. Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes; turn out onto racks; cool completely.
• Split each cooled layer; put together, alternating pink and yellow, with part of the strawberry butter cream; frost sides and top with remaining.
• For the Strawberry Butter Cream:.
• Blend cream cheese with butter until fluffy in a medium-size bowl; beat in strawberries. Stir in 2 cups of the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Measure out 1 1/2 cups of the mixture for filling. Beat remaining confectioners' sugar into remaining mixture in bowl for frosting.

MOIST STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• 1. PREPARING MACERATED STRAWBERRIES: Wash and remove stems before thinly slicing. Place in a bowl and mix with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cover and allow to sit for a minimum of 30 minutes. Once macerated, use a fork to smash the berries. Set aside a 1/2 cup of drained strawberries for the frosting. Save the remaining berries and syrup for the cake.
• 2. CAKE: Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9 X 13 cake pan. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and gelatin thoroughly. Add oil, milk, eggs, and 1 cup of macerated berries with syrup and beat for 2 minutes in the mixer. Pour into pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until toothpick come out mostly clean. Allow to completely cool before frosting. If you have any remaining syrup you can simply pour it over the cake.
• 3. FROSTING: Cream together the butter, confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup well-drained strawberries, and vanilla or strawberry extract. You can gradually add more sugar to get a thicker consistency if the frosting is to runny. Frost cake and enjoy!
