Tips and Tricks

Strawberry Cake Tips

Here are some tips and tricks for making the perfect strawberry cake:

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature before starting. This will make it easier to cream with the sugar.
  • Use fresh strawberries, not frozen. Frozen strawberries have too much moisture and can make the cake soggy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Mix until the ingredients are just combined, or the cake may become tough.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
