Dessert Can Still Be Kind of Healthy
Let’s admit it; we all love dessert. Oh sure we tell people that we aren’t “sweet people,” but we don’t say no when the tray comes around now do we? That is why we always seem to make excuses when we want something sweet. Mine this week is if you put strawberries in it, it kind of counts as healthy…
Alright maybe not. However I still decided to cook Strawberry Cake. This is different from Strawberry short cake because…I am not exactly sure, but I didn’t make that, and I smothered it with chocolate frosting. Note: This may make this dessert a little unhealthy.
Strawberry Cake
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup fresh crushed strawberry, unsweetened ( I put in two cups, and then blended them)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together: flour, salt, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, combine butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- Beat for a total of 3 minutes, scrapping the sides of the bowl.(or watch 2 minutes of basketball)
- Then add flour mixture to creamed mixture, alternating with strawberries.
- Beat for two minutes.(continue to watch basketball)
- Pour batter into two 8-inch round greased and floured cake pans.
- Bake in pre-heated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until cake tests done
Just so you know, it won’t turn out red, but you will definitely be able to taste the strawberries. In the video below, my dad gives his review. It should be noted that my dad insisted to sit in his chair to be interviewed, hence the bad lighting. I still love him.
