Ingredients

16 servings

  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 0.25 cup butter, room temperature
  • 0.25 cup mashed fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a cake pan.
  • Beat white sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat eggs, one at a time, into sugar mixture until well mixed; stir in vanilla extract.
  • Stir 1 cup strawberries and baking soda in a large bowl until baking soda is dissolved. This will help strawberries foam and rise in the cake.
  • Whisk flour and salt together in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture and strawberry mixture by hand, into sugar mixture, alternating flour mixture, then strawberry mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared cake pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1/4 cup strawberries in a bowl with an electric mixer until blended; frost the cooled strawberry cake.
