Aunt Kates Strawberry Cake Food

AUNT KATE'S STRAWBERRY CAKE

Steps:

• 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.

BOHEMIAN COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Pretty easy directions, really -- just mix all ingredients together and bake in a tube pan at 350 degrees for 1 hr.; I also like the plum cake version of this too, just sub 2 jars of plum baby food for coconut.

BUTTERMILK-RHUBARB COFFEE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° (325° if you're using a glass pan). Place rhubarb in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Let stand while preparing the batter.
• Spray an 8-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Cream together the butter and sugar in an electric mixer, until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla.
• In another bowl, mix together the dry ingredients until uniformly blended. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir thoroughly, but minimally, until combined, don't overmix.
• Fold in the rhubarb and transfer the batter to the prepared pan. The batter will be stiff and you'll have to work with it a little, spreading it in the pan. Don't worry if it doesn't look completely uniform in the pan.
• Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the batter.
• Bake 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted all the way into the center comes out clean.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
