I made this today for my daughter-in-law’s birthday. Strawberry cake is her favorite. Yes, it took a while to make, especially with the reduction, but it was so worth the time. This batter worked like a dream. Looked just like ice cream when done. Glopped into pan (I used just 1 square pan), cooked beautifully and put it on wires to cool. Made the icing, my first time to make scratch buttercream and it was delicious! Turned around to start icing and BAM! Cake had cratered in the middle. This has always been my issue with cakes. Both scratch and mix cakes. Always craters. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I have checked my oven temps. Oh well, I just did what I alway have done and had a wonderful icing party in the middle 😂. I just wish I could figure out what I do wrong. I am in no way blaming this recipe. I will definatley use again. Thanks for listening

I made this cake for the first time and my sister (who loves strawberries) ate almost half of it. Just a question if the reduction for the icing could be done with blueberries. This is so I can make an ombre look for the icing. Just an idea I had.

Thanks so much, I'm glad you like the recipes! The strawberry cake is formulated very specifically to work with AP flour, so cake flour would be too soft to achieve that texture. As a result, the cake is a little more on the denser side, but if you want to get a very fluffy strawberry cake, you could always try my strawberry wasc recipe. https://sugargeekshow.com/recipe/strawberry-cake-mix-recipe/

Last week I made your Lemon Blueberry Buttermilk cake and much prefer it’s texture to this Strawberry Cake I made today. Would it be possible to use cake flour instead of all-purpose for the strawberry cake to achieve the velvety texture?
The format of your recipes and videos make learning so much easier.
Thank you so much!

I made this cake today for a special occasion. It went well and hope everyone likes it. I did 3 layers. I sampled the top that I cut off to make it flat and made my own piece.;) It was delish. I wasn't sure if I could add the berries with the apricot glaze on top and it be good thd next day so I put them in a container until ready to serve. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is, without a doubt, a brilliant 5-Star recipe! It is perfect as standalone cake, but I went a step further and added a.cheesecake layer right in the middle, which provided a beautiful balance of textures and flavors.

In reply to Aquila. Yay I'm so glad you like the recipe! Yes, it works great for stacking. Just make sure you use straws or supports :)
