Ultimate Strawberry Cake from Scratch
Ingredients
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 3/4 cups sifted cake flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup whole milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup strawberry puree made from frozen sweetened strawberries
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius, if you prefer metric).
2
Next, take two 9-inch round cake pans and give them a good coating of grease and flour to prevent sticking.
3
Now, combine three ingredients - sugar, butter, and dry strawberry gelatin - in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat them together until they become light and fluffy, almost like whipped cream.
4
Add one egg at a time to the bowl, making sure to mix well after each addition. This will help create a smooth and even batter.
5
In another bowl, whisk together two dry ingredients - flour and baking powder. Then, gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture in your main bowl, alternating with milk as you go.
6
Add a sweet and fruity twist to the batter by blending in some strawberry puree and a hint of vanilla.
7
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
8
Place the pans in your preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 25 to 30 minutes.
9
Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Use a table knife to gently loosen the edges of each cake, making it easier to transfer them to a serving plate or cooling rack.

Finally, invert the cakes carefully onto your chosen serving surface to cool completely and enjoy!
