Instructions
Strawberry Puree Instructions
Bring a small saucepan with vegan butter to medium heat. Add the strawberries and cook, stirring, until tender (about 2-3 minutes). Use an immersion blender to blend into a puree. You should have about ¾-1 cup of puree. Allow to cool before using.
Super Moist Strawberry Cake
Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan with baking spray.
Mix the strawberry puree, melted vegan butter, almond or oat milk, cane sugar, baking soda, baking power, and vanilla together. Then, add the flour and mix untila batter forms. Fold in the strawberries and then pour the batter into the loaf pan.
Bake the strawberry cake for about 50 minutes or until it has completely risen and is golden around the edges.
Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
While the strawberry cake bakes, mix the softened vegan butter, vegan cream cheese, and powdered sugar to make the cream cheese frosting. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting ... or you can do what I did and ice it while it's still warm so that the icing melts over the strawberry cake. Top with more berries and serve warm or cooled.
