INGREDIENTS
•
4 large eggs, room temperature ( can warm the eggs by putting in a bowl of warm water for 5 minutes)
•
1 1/2 cups (340 g) strawberry puree ......I used frozen strawberries that were lightly sweetened, you could also use fresh.....puree the strawberries in food processor or blender
•
1 teaspoon (4 g.) vanilla
•
2 teaspoons (8 g) strawberry extract
•
2 to 3 drops AmeriColor Pink or your pink coloring of choice (optional but makes for a prettier shade of pink)
•
3 cups (300 g) cake flour
•
1 3/4 cups (350 g) granulated sugar
•
1 Tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon (14 g) baking powder
•
1 teaspoon (6 g) salt
•
1/4 cup (50g) vegetable oil
•
1 stick (1/2 cup) (113 g) unsalted butter, cut butter into small pieces so it can be added slowly during mixing process. I cut mine into 1/2 to 1 inch slices onto waxed paper on the countertop, letting it soften only about 5 to 6 minutes.
