In reply to Faith. Absolutely. Just use a 9x13 pan and bake it for about 10 minutes longer.

Hello! So I can’t find E-Z gel.
Can I use gelatin instead? How do I substitute it?
I am trying to not mess it up, I have the cookbook and it looks delicious!
Please does anyone know? Thank you!

I’ve made this butter cream and whipped cream many times now for cakes I make for my kids and nieces and nephews (we use a doggerenr cake batter depending on their request). It is a great recipe and really makes such delicious frosting!! Thank you 🙂 really lovely recipe.

In reply to Tara McDonald. So happy you loved it! You could totally use GF flour. I like Cup4Cup brand the best. When replacing it for cake flour, I use 1/4 cup less GF flour overall.

This was a fun cake to bake and it stole the show at the dinner party I hosted 😋
My daughter tends to avoid gluten (digestive reasons) but couldn’t resist having two pieces of this cake.
Do you think a gluten free option would be doable? – I find, sometimes, it’s best not to mess with a great thing. Lol.
Thank you for sharing:)

I only have gelatin sheets. I think I use 4 sheets to be equivalent to 1 TBS powder. Will these work?

In reply to Ashley. Yes, just make sure to cover it well so it doesn't get dry.

In reply to Kelley.

I wouldn’t use fresh, unless you create a reduction with them – to do that, add the strawberries to a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat. As they soften, smash them to help release juices. You’ll want to puree the mixture and then continue to cook it on low heat until it thickens and reduces to about 1/4 cup. Let it cool and chill and then you can add that to the buttercream.

Is there a substitute for freeze dried strawberries? I can’t find them in my towns grocery stores. Would sliced frozen work? Or fresh?

This recipe was so good and used well describing words. I loved how the recipe stated what kind of mixing tool to use with the hand mixer.

Courtney! I just wanted to say thank you SO MUCH for this recipe! I made it for my sons first birthday party and it was such a hit! It was gobbled up and I got so many compliments! It turned out perfectly and tasted absolutely amazing! Especially the strawberry frosting! I was so nervous about making the stabilized whipped cream but it all turned out so well. Thank you so so so much!
