Jesse and Steve's Fresh Strawberry Cake
Posted by Anonymous
This moist, not-too-sweet strawberry cake is covered with tart lemon icing and sprinkled with toasted slivered almonds. I served it after dinner with fresh coffee, and it my friends went wild for it. I like to use turbinado (raw) sugar because it is more flavorful and less processed than white sugar, but white sugar should work fine, too.Jesse and Steve's Fresh Strawberry Cake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups turbinado sugar 2 eggs 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons sour cream 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup mashed strawberries 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons butter, softened 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon milk 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2 In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and the turbinado sugar. Add the eggs, and beat for 1 minute. Stir in the vanilla and salt.
3 In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream and the baking soda until the baking soda has dissolved. Add the sour cream mixture and the flour to the egg mixture. Beat well, then stir in the mashed strawberries.
4 Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until top springs back when lightly touched.
5 While cake is cooling, make the icing: Cream together 2 tablespoons butter and confectioners' sugar. Add the milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and beat until smooth. Spread icing on warm (not hot!) cake, and sprinkle with slivered almonds.
