Ingredients

2 cups white sugar

1 package strawberry flavored gelatin (3 ounces)

1 cup butter, softened

4 eggs, room temperature

2 3/4 cups sifted cake flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup whole milk, room temperature

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup strawberry puree, made from frozen sweetened strawberries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

Grease and flour two 9 inch round cake pans, or grease the sides and line the bottoms with parchment paper

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and dry strawberry gelatin until light and fluffy

Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Add the yolks to the mixture immediately, mixing well. Whip the whites into soft peaks and then fold into the batter.

Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternating with the milk.

Blend in vanilla and strawberry puree. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a small knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow cakes to cool in their pans over a wire rack for at least 10 minutes, before tapping out to cool completely

About

Rather than mixing the strawberry puree into the cake batter, you could spread it between the cake layers before frosting. Vanilla or cream cheese frosting pair well with this recipe.
