Introduction

Welcome to our Strawberry-Lemonade Cake recipe. This delightful treat combines the tartness of lemons and the sweetness of strawberries to bring you a cake that’s perfect for summer gatherings or just a casual tea-time snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cups of sugar
  • 1 cup of butter, softened
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 cup of buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup of lemon juice
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1 cup of finely chopped strawberries
  • 1/2 cup of strawberry puree
  • Lemonade frosting (recipe follows)

Lemonade Frosting

  • 2 cups of butter, softened
  • 8 cups of powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup of frozen lemonade concentrate
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Procedure

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add these dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Finally, stir in the strawberries and pour equal amounts of batter into each prepared pan.
  3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, and frozen lemonade concentrate. Stir in the lemon zest.
  5. Once the cakes are cooled, frost in between layers, and then frost the outside of the cake. Decorate with fresh strawberries before serving.
