How to Make a Strawberry Cake

How to Make a Strawberry Cake
Ful Recipe: preppykitchen.com/painted-cake/
This strawberry lemon cake is super-moist, flavorful and easy to make, well the batter and buttercreams are easy at least. The decoration scheme is not crazy but maybe a bit above beginner level... I’ve taken to using strained jam to flavor my strawberry cakes lately and have loved the results. I used to make fresh reductions for these cakes but the results are so similar and yet much faster when using jam; time-savers will always win when flavor isn’t compromised! Adding lemon zest to the batter makes a huge difference bringing in a lot of zing and brightness to help the strawberry flavor shine. This batter would be great for a pink lemonade cake or cupcakes BTW.
I practiced a bit on a plate to get the feel for applying the petals with a palette knife, piping the stamens and leaves etc. After you get the hang of it, the process is really not difficult. I ended up using a small petal tip (61) for the last few petals in the foreground of each flower. It was much easier than applying with only a palette knife although that is totally doable. Almost all of the flowers on the plate were done with a palette knife for all of the petals. The leaves were piped on with a 349 tip.
