STRAWBERRY LAYER CAKE

Yesterday I Made:

STRAWBERRY LAYER CAKE for DESSERT.

Recipe from Cooking Light Magazine.

A strawberry triple threat cake:

-Real pureed strawberries in the batter.

-Thinly sliced strawberries layered in between the two slices.

-Halved strawberries on the outside of the cake.

This cake turned out moist and light.

The frosting was made up of vegan cream cheese, powdered sugar and orange juice.

A little sweet, but I've never been a fan of cake frosting.

The original recipe is not vegan, but I made a few simple substitutions:

-Egg Replacer instead of eggs.

-Earth Balance instead of butter.

-Soymilk mixed with apple cider to mimic buttermilk.

-Vegan cream cheese instead of regular cow's milk cream cheese.

And to make it even healthier, I used half whole wheat pastry and whole wheat flours instead of all purpose.

This cake is perfect for a gathering such as a baby shower, bridal shower, afternoon tea, or when you want to bring a smile to your husband's face after coming home from a long day at work!
