Aunt Kate's Strawberry Cake

Submitted by: admin on April 10, 2020

16 servings

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
½ cup shortening
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup butter, room temperature
¼ cup mashed fresh strawberries

Instructions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Grease a cake pan.

Step 3
Beat white sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy.

Step 4
Beat eggs, one at a time, into sugar mixture until well mixed; stir in vanilla extract.

Step 5
Stir 1 cup strawberries and baking soda in a large bowl until baking soda is dissolved. This will help strawberries foam and rise in the cake.

Step 6
Whisk flour and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture and strawberry mixture by hand, into sugar mixture, alternating flour mixture, then strawberry mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.

Step 7
Pour batter into prepared cake pan.

Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

Step 9
Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1/4 cup strawberries in a bowl with an electric mixer until blended; frost the cooled strawberry cake.
