You’ll use it in the cake batter, brushed over the warm cake, and in the frosting.If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely first.Because frozen berries release more liquid, it’s best to simmer them for 5 to 10 minutes over medium heat to reduce excess moisture.
Let them cool completely, then blend into a puree.This helps keep the cake texture and frosting consistency from becoming too thin.Butter: Unsalted butter is used in both the cake and frosting for richness and flavor control.
If you only have salted butter, reduce the added kosher salt slightly.Sugar: Granulated sugar sweetens the cake and helps create a light, fluffy texture when creamed with butter.C
