Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries, pureed
- 1 tablespoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Tequila
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries, diced (for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the strawberry puree, lime zest, and tequila until well combined.
Gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes cool, make the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, a tablespoon of lime juice, and a splash of tequila (optional) until smooth. Adjust consistency with additional lime juice if needed.
Once the cakes are completely cool, spread the glaze over the top of each layer. Stack the cakes and let the glaze drizzle down the sides.
Top the cake with diced strawberries and garnish with lime wedges if desired.
Serve and enjoy your Deluxe Strawberry Margarita Cake!
