Fresh Strawberry Cake

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups sifted flour

1⁄4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1⁄2 cup butter+ vegetable oil
1 cup sugar
2 extra-large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
3⁄4 cup fresh crushed strawberries

Strawberry Glaze:

2 cups chopped strawberries

1/3 cup sugar

1 tbsp. cornstarch

1 tbsp. lemon juice

2 tbsp. butter, melted

1/2 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, or 175 degrees C. Grease, and flour an eight-inch round cake pan.
Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder three times (It helps your cake to rise up more).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the butter, oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat for two minutes. Add flour gradually to the mixture.
In the end, add crushed strawberries. Beat for three more minutes.
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool for fifteen minutes.

Strawberries Glaze: Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook 3 minutes or until thick. Drizzle glaze over cake.

My Notes:

• If you don't like strawberry glaze, just use fresh strawberries (as I did for today).
