My sister and I made this cake the day before Easter Sunday and let it sit in the refrigerator until we served it for dessert... it was WONDERFUL!!! We took three recommendations from reviews that really helped the strawberry cake to turn out great! 1~ We seperated the egg whites and yolks and whipped the egg whites and then added them in to the mixture. 2~ Also we sifted the flour and then after sifting measured it again. 3~ We spread strawberry puree in between the two cake layers along with icing to make them stick together well. (mmmmm!!!:D)
Furthermore we made the strawberry puree by blending clean, cut strawberries together in the blender which made a really fresh puree. As a finishing touch, after icing the entire cake with vanilla icing, we placed extra sliced strawberries on the top of the cake! The cake was BIG
hit but make sure to make room in the refrigerator for leftovers!
For those of you who complained about the cake being too dense, try cutting back on your flour. A standard cake recipe usually calls for about 2 1/4 cups of flour, not the amount listed. That amount would work well if your 9" pans were at least 2" deep, and most standard ones that we have in our kitchens are not. Also, decrease sugar down to 1 cup. The gelatin is going to add a LOT of sweetness...I found this out the hard way making this recipe with a boxed cake mix. It was way too sweet for me, but everyone else loved it.
My cake came out perfectly, very moist (a little delicate, but the boxed version did, too), and just the right amount of sweetness. My cake is going to get lots of whipped cream and a white-chocolate custard filling between the layers. :-) --You can make your own cake flour by taking out 2 Tbsp. of flour from each cup and adding 2 Tbsp. of cornstarch back in. Sift 4-5 times, THEN scoop out the amount you need.--
