Strawberry Cake

Its strawberry season in North Carolina and we are blessed to have a farm about 5 minutes down the road from us, this was a fun cake to make and the butter icing is so pretty with the natural pink. It is also fun decorating with edible flowers. 

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 6 oz of self raising flour
• 6 oz of butter
• 6 oz of sugar 
• about 2 cups of chopped strawberries 
• 1/4 of a packet of icing sugar and 4 oz butter to make butter cream icing. 
• a handful of edible flowers we used roses, viola, dianthus and snap dragon. 

Method:

1. cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy 
2. add the eggs and flour and blend
3. then add about a handful of strawberries not too many as it will make the batter too moist 
4. bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes until a knife comes out clean.
5. Meanwhile blend, the icing sugar, butter and strawberries do a little at a time to get the right consistency for the butter cream icing,
6. once the cake is cool spread the icing and decorate. 

Hope everyone is staying safe and happy :-)
