STRAWBERRY PUREE LAYER CAKE

Facebook0Tweet0Pin0LinkedIn0Print0

Strawberry puree layer cakeStrawberry puree layer cake is a celebration of summer! Strawberries in every layer giving a sweet summer flavor and a perfect egg-free and dairy-free sponge cake. Oh how I love summer time baking. I hope you do too!

Summer strawberry treats

This cake is made from strawberries I received from the Nenonen strawberry farm which I was lucky to visit a month ago. The strawberries were sweet and very beautiful and I wish I could teleport myself to the farm for more!

Strawberry puree layer cake

As a huge strawberry lover, one of my big passions is making vegan strawberry treats. I have created several strawberry recipes through the years, here’s a list of my favorites:

Strawberry tarts with tahini caramel

Gluten-free berry caramel cake – shaped like an ice cream cone!

Strawberry chia pudding tart with granola crust – a little light gluten-free dessert, good for breakfast too.

Gluten-free sugar-free banana-sweetened strawberry cake

Gluten-free no-bake strawberry cupcakes

Strawberry season is not over yet in Finland, and I hope it’s not over there yet either! You still have a chance to bake some of these treats or this amazing pillowy creamy strawberry puree layer cake.

How to make strawberry puree?

An essential part of this cake is strawberry puree. Strawberry puree makes the cake super moist and the strawberry flavor is out of this world, especially when using sweet fresh summer strawberries.

Strawberry puree is very easy to make: just blend fresh strawberries until you have a smooth very vibrant red sauce. There’s no need to add any sweetener to the puree when strawberries are sweet.

This puree would be perfect for a toddler too, and in fact you can make a baby/toddler version of this cake without sugar by using smashed bananas as a sweetener (use a little bit less yogurt then, so that the cake will bake properly).

What makes this strawberry puree layer cake the best vegan strawberry cake:

Fresh chopped strawberries inside the sponge cake layers.

Juicy sweet strawberry puree on top of both layers.

Whole strawberries as a simple and beautiful topping for the cake.

Strawberry puree layer cake: a pillowy creamy sponge cake filled with strawberries. Dairy-free, egg-free and delicious! I used a 11 x 7 inch brownie pan to bake this. Note: If you're using a bigger or smaller cake pan the baking time might be different.
