The Freeze Dried Strawberry Cake Recipe Genius

who was it that advised to use freeze dried strawberries in their strawberry cake recipe? you are a genius -- I used it for a strawberry filling -- just whirled in blender and added it into the abc and it was perfect -- I didn't want to fridge the cake because it was made with butter so I finally tried it to resolve that issue and avoid flavorings at the same time as well -- really potent too --
THANK YOU!!!
I've got to give it a try. I do have some pineapple, but can't remember what recipe with which I was planning to use it....old!
one bag is enough for a full recipe of icing i'm sure -- the fruit turns into a powder when you blend it -- it comes out of the bag brittle and dry --
oh whoops I used that amount in some icing i used as a filling — i’ve never baked with it — but still I don’t think you’ll need more than one bag but I would get two bags because I like back up
I have used freeze dried strawberries for cakes many times. It is the only way I could get a nice strawberry taste, and pretty color, and not add moisture and denseness to the cake. (Freeze dried NOT dehydrated!) For my white cake recipe that makes 2 8" layers, I mix in a heaping cup of chopped freeze dried strawberries, including all the powdery bits, at the end. I chop small, so that little bits of fruit are visible (it softens up perfectly while baking) but not too chunky. If you are not vegan, replace 1/8 cup of the sugar with 1/8 cup dry strawberry jello mix for a pretty pink color. Also, add in 1 tsp of strawberry extract along with the vanilla. I get the strawberries at Trader Joe's, and also my local family owned grocery store.
