SERVING: 10-12
INGREDIENTS:
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1.5 sticks; 170g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
salt, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Using a blender or food processor, process the freeze-dried strawberries into a powdery
crumb. You should have around 1/2 cup. Set aside. In a large bowl using a hand-held or
stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese for 1 minute
on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. Beat in the butter until combined. Add
the confectioners’ sugar, strawberry powder, 1 Tablespoon milk, and vanilla and beat on
medium-high speed until combined and creamy. Add 1 more Tablespoon of milk to slightly
thin out, if desired. Taste, then add a pinch of salt if needed.
1. First, using a large serrated knife, slice a thin layer off the tops of the cakes to create a flat
surface. Discard (or crumble over ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or
serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer and spread the
remaining frosting all over the top and sides. Refrigerate for at least 45 minutes before
slicing. This helps the cake keep its shape when cutting– it could slightly fall apart without
time in the fridge.
2. Cover leftover cake tightly and store in the refrigerator for 5 days.
STRAWBERRY CUPCAKE
PREP: 20 MIN
SERVING: 18
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 eggs white
¼ cup milk
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 12 cup muffin tin or line with paper liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
3. In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter on medium-high speed for 2-3
minutes, until light and fluffy. Scraping the bowl as needed. Gradually add the sugar and
beat until well combined. Reduce the mixer to low and add the egg, egg whites, and vanilla
extract.
4. With the mixer on low, add half the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Add the milk,
mixing until just combined. Add the remaining flour and mix until just combined, scraping
the sides of the bowl as necessary. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold in the chopped
strawberries.
5. Divide the butter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a
toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean. Transfer the muffin tin
to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
FROSTING:
1. If using freeze dried strawberries: In a small food processor, blend about 1/2 cup freeze
dried strawberries until they turn into powder. Pour the powder into a fine mesh sieve,
discarding the solids and seeds, keeping the fine powder that came through the sieve.
Measure out two tablespoons of the powder to use in the frosting. Proceed below.
2. With a hand mixer, or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter for 2
minutes, until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the beater as
necessary. Add the sugar, 1/2 a cup at a time, beating until combined.
3. Add strawberry puree, freeze dried strawberry powder (if using), vanilla extract, and beat on
medium speed until fully combined, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl and
beater as needed. If necessary, adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or
more strawberry puree, to thicken or thin it out. Place in a piping bag, or use an offset
spatula to frost cupcakes (this makes enough frosting to generously frost the cupcakes).
Garnish with sliced strawberries, if desired.
