Bertha's Strawberry Cake featured in Saveur May 2011
Strawberry Cake Recipe
Strawberry cake topped with strawberry cream cheese frosting, is a favorite soul food dessert;
this delicious version (pictured above) comes from Bertha's Kitchen.
16 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing pan
3 cups flour; plus more for pan
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup milk
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
3 tbsp. red food coloring (optional)
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 eggs
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 1-lb. box confectioners sugar, sifted
1 tsp. strawberry extract
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9" round cake pans; set aside. Whisk together flour,
baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together milk, jam, and 2 tbsp. food coloring in a small
bowl; set aside. Beat together sugar, oil, vanilla and eggs in a mixer on medium-high speed until pale
and smooth, 2-3 minutes. In 3 additions, alternately add dry and wet ingredients to sugar mixture
beginning and ending with dry, mix until combined. Divide batter between prepared pans and smooth tops;
bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle of cakes comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let cool 15
minutes, unmold, then cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese on high speed of a mixer until smooth and fluffy, 1-2 minutes.
Add remaining food coloring, confectioners' sugar, and strawberry extract; beat until smooth. Place one
cake upside down on a cake stand, and spread 1/3 frosting over top. Cover with second cake, top side up.
Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting; refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Serve at room temperature.

El Capitan Canyon - The one glamping site on my list to visit in the near future!
Featured in Sunset Magazine back in July 2010... as one of the best luxurious campgrounds on the west coast.
Canvas tents with warm comforters, firepits... with room service delivering burgers and smores right up the the flap with an additional charge. Sounds perfect to me!
