Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup strawberry puree fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk for frosting
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for frosting
  • Pink food coloring optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and strawberry puree until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a bowl. Add pink food coloring if desired to achieve your preferred shade.
  9. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake.
  10. Slice and serve your delicious Mexican Pink Cake!
