Should we let our life overflow with love or refrain ourselves from vanities? It’s not a question when making a Strawberry lemonade cake.
As I most recently have a little time, I had been looking on the internet yesterday. Looking for fresh, exciting tips, inspiring meals that We have never tried before, to delight my family with. Looking for a long time but couldn’t discover lots of interesting things. Just before I thought to give up on it, I discovered this delicious and easy dessert by luck over Suncakemom. It seemed so tempting
on its snapshot, it required urgent actions.
It absolutely was easy to imagine the way it’s created, how it tastes and how much my husband will enjoy it. Actually, it is extremely simple to impress him in terms of cakes. Anyways, I went to the site and used the comprehensive instuctions which were coupled with superb pics of the operation. It really makes life faster and easier. I could imagine that it’s a slight effort to take snap shots down the middle of cooking in the kitchen as you ordinarily have gross hands so that i highly appreciate the effort and time she devote to make this blogpost and recipe conveniently implemented.
That being said I’m encouraged presenting my own formulas in the same way. Thanks for the idea.
I had been tweaking the main formula create it for the taste of my loved ones. I’ve got to say it turned out an awesome success. They enjoyed the flavour, the overall look and loved getting a delicacy such as this in the middle of a busy week. They ultimately asked for lots more, many more. So the next time I am not going to make the same miscalculation. I am gonna twin the amount to keep them happy.
Thanks to SunCakeMom for the mouth-watering Strawberry Lemonade Cake.
Cake
Measure flour, baking powder, salt, lemon zest, butter, eggs, vanilla extract and milk into a mixing bowl.
Combine all ingredients together.
Mix in lemon juice or lemon extract. Lemon juice will whiten the batter. Acid in lemon juice can negatively affect the baking soda’s ability to raise the cake. A teaspoon of baking soda can help neutralize its effect on the cake.
Pour the batter into parchment papered and/or greased baking form.
Bake in a 360°F / 180°C preheated oven’s bottom rack until the top gets some golden brown spots for about 30 – 40 minutes.
Let it cool a bit then shape it by removing the uneven parts.
Slice the cake into three layers.
Jam
Bring the chopped strawberries and water to boil with the lid on.
Cook the strawberries on medium heat until soft.
Mash them or use a hand blander to puree.
Filter out the bits and seeds. This can take long and require some stirring and mashing things through the sieve.
Put the strawberry puree back to the cook top and reduce it by half or even more. The thicker it will be the more we can stack onto the layers. We can use a somewhat runny jam too but it will seep into the holes and crevices which still taste good but won’t look that nice. Any leftover jam can be canned and stored for later.
Cream
Beat cream cheese and sweetener of choice until soft and creamy.
Mix in the strawberries.
Beat heavy cream and lemon juice until hard peaks form.
Mix cream cheese and heavy cream together. Taste and add more sweetener if desired.
Assembly
Spread strawberry jam onto the first layer and spread it out evenly. If we haven’t reduced the strawberry to a thick spread then seal the outer side of the cake with some frosting first so the jam won’t escape sneakily.
Repeat it with the second layer.
On the third topmost layer skip the jam as it can ruin the even spreading of the cream and go straight to the frosting. Spread about half of the cream cheese frosting on top and the other half on the side of the cake.
