Thanks Gretchen I made this strawberry cake and it turned out so nice . I was a little apprehensive about using so much baking powder in the mix but it worked. I used fresh blended strawberries in the buttercream and it looked a little curdled. Yes the sweet strawberries filled my room with its fragrance. Thanks
Love the ease of the pretty, fresh strawberry cake recipe. I hope I can track down some sweet strawberries this summer, usually they are quite sour and a disappointment, like the punnets I bought recently. This will teach me to buy locally and in season.
Have I shared my strawberry punch recipe with you? In a large blender add the flesh of 1 seedless watermelon and 2 cups strawberries that were frozen until you let them thaw, just like in this video's compote. Blend it all together and serve chilled.
We made this cake today. The sponge was too compact, I think we pulsed the food processor far too long. So next time we will do better. The buttercream on the other hand, is amazing! Never seen very stabil buttercream like this before. Thank you so much, Gretchen!
Amazing cake. I'm make this cake this weekend for a loved one. Wanted to know if the Chantilly frosting would work with this cake or would it be too sweet?
Hmm, good question I typically link to all products & some tools i use in each recipe post. I also have a vague Amazon storefront featuring my “must haves” but the individual recipe posts will have unique links www.amazon.com/shop/gretchensveganbakery?ref_=cm_sw_r_mwn_aipsfshop_aipsfgretchensveganbakery_TWPHS0N82W6QYRW1371Q
@@GretchensVeganBakery OMG….. can only imagine. Ok, so maybe I’ll just make this for a just because: Would I be able to make your less sweet buttercream and the compote for this cake ahead of time then assemble one day? I know i can make the cake and freeze it. Wondering about the compite and that specific buttercream. I’ll continue telling you because you’re my go to for desserts….YOU ROCK🤘🏼
Yes to both! However read (or watch the part where I explain about the breaking emulsion especially when re-whipping this BC the day you need it! I prefer to make it right before I ice the cake!
If I can't get any cranberries will any other frozen berries will do? All berries except for strawberries are difficult to get where I live (middle east)
I use organic sugar so it is sure to be vegan, therefore the grains are slightly larger & darker in color . Regular granulated white sugar is processed through bone char making it not vegan.
Yes! I make a note of that on the written recipe on my website where you can simply mix everything by hand in a large bowl with a whisk. However, you will have to purée the strawberries somehow (in a blender?)
Gretchen, I have a question. One of my customers gave me a bag of vegan flour. Can I use this in your recipe? It's a 1:1 vegan flour by King Arthur. Can you bake ahead and freeze this cake?
Hello I checked out your buttercream video where you use apples to make a creamy custard to add to your butter but I can’t seem to find one where you explain how to make the strawberry power you use here and I’m very confused rn 🥲 could someone direct me to the proper video please? I’d love to make this cake next week
Less strawberries for the compote. The recipe calls for a lot. The option is to use some of it to make the strawberry vegan frosting. I’m having hard trouble with it only because of the amount of compote I used on cake and powder sugar used in frosting. You almost have to play with it until you get it right. Otherwise it’s a very good cake.
@@GretchensVeganBakery not brown like chocolate brown, just a very dull color and not pink. I’m gonna try again using frozen, the strawberries up here suck 😂
Oh I see ! Ok that makes sense! I just checked out my "notes for success" section that I include on all my recipes and here was the notes: For the cake batter you will have to use fresh berries, since frozen berries leech too much liquid and will turn your cake heavy and rubbery Additionally I used a drop of pink food color to get this vibrant pink color since just fresh strawberries alone (while it will be pink) it will be very light pink color
Gretchen, your vegan strawberry cake looks absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you Byron
Wow! That cake looks so yummy! 😍 😋
I LOVE that you used fresh strawberries in the batter and frosting. Oh my goodness, this looks so refreshing and tasty!!!
Man you are super underated. I found your channel a few days ago and JEEZ LOUIZE YOU ARE AMAZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Aweee thank you!!! I appreciate that & also wonder myself why I’m so underrated 😆🤣
But thank you so much

Yes I agree with disappointing produce it seems to be the norm 🙁
My God, that looks amazing.
Thanks Ryan 🥳
Looks delicious!

Stop forcing your Strawberry Punch recipe on me 😂🤣😂
Lol, ooooh sounds so good & i just got a delicious watermelon yesterday!! 👌🏼
Wow the cake stayed pink after baking without food coloring? I’m impressed.
This looks so good ❤❤❤
I'm drooling 🤤

Great, thank you for the comment! Perhaps more than over pulsing, I would urge you to weigh your flour, (if you did not already?)
@@GretchensVeganBakery Ok, we will weigh the flour next time. Thank you so much.
Amazing cake. I'm make this cake this weekend for a loved one. Wanted to know if the Chantilly frosting would work with this cake or would it be too sweet?
Excellent! Chantilly frosting is whipped cream so that would go absolutely perfect with this cake

really i L❤ve it!

Skip to 4:35 in the video 👌🏼 😉
Tampoco uso azúcar ☠️ sino, Stevia natural. 😊
Hola
En vez de harina todo uso, se puede hacer con harina de avena?
Gracias de antemano.
Hi there the recipe & more information is here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/strawberry-cake-recipe/
Gretchen can you use gel colors in vegan cakes? Just asking in general.
yes! I just started using this brand amzn.to/3qdf1oo
@@GretchensVeganBakery Awesome! Thanks so much!!
If I can't get any cranberries will any other frozen berries will do? All berries except for strawberries are difficult to get where I live (middle east)
Yes definitely you can use any Berry combination that you like
@@GretchensVeganBakery great, I can find frozen berries mix!
YES!! excellent!
Hey so I was wondering if you used the apples in the buttercream for this recipe if not what do I use?
Pears would work
What kind of sugar did you use. It doesn't look like granulated sugar.
I use organic sugar so it is sure to be vegan, therefore the grains are slightly larger & darker in color . Regular granulated white sugar is processed through bone char making it not vegan.
Is this gluten free?
Omg
can we make this cake without a food processor ? i dont have one
Yes! I make a note of that on the written recipe on my website where you can simply mix everything by hand in a large bowl with a whisk. However, you will have to purée the strawberries somehow (in a blender?)
@@GretchensVeganBakery tysm for your reply.
What tip did you use to apply the frosting
I like Ateco brand so this is called #824 Ateco
Can I use beetroot powder in the place of strawberry powder ?
Yes
Gretchen, I have a question. One of my customers gave me a bag of vegan flour. Can I use this in your recipe? It's a 1:1 vegan flour by King Arthur.
Can you bake ahead and freeze this cake?
Hi, im confused because ALL flour is vegan. So the short answer is YES!
@GretchensVeganBakery thanks. This is new for me❤
🎉❤
Smell o vision lol

Mine came out brown and I couldn’t taste the strawberries 🙁 I wonder if it’s dependent on how ripe the strawberries are?
Hmm, Yes, that could definitely play a part. I almost always use frozen berries if the fresh ones are not in prime season
But brown? Hmm 🤔
@@GretchensVeganBakery not brown like chocolate brown, just a very dull color and not pink. I’m gonna try again using frozen, the strawberries up here suck 😂
Oh I see ! Ok that makes sense! I just checked out my "notes for success" section that I include on all my recipes and here was the notes:
