I finally came up with a STRAWBERRY CAKE recipe and I hope you all love it just as much as I do!! Get the written recipe here: cakesbymk.com/recipe/soft-strawberry-cake/
I love watching you make cakes. But I'm sorry I don't like strawberries.😊 But it looks delicious.❤❤❤❤
Can you not use grams I don’t understand grams use regular measurements
I will definitely make this😍😍 Hi. Please make Tres Leches 🙏🤗
This also be done with Raspberry instead of Strawberry?
Honestly I am looking to do a Raspberry, Lemon Cake. I tried on yrs ago, and I couldn't get my strawberry mixture thick enough. And it actually started leaking through the buttercream on the outside of the cake. It was good. But a Fail in construction of the cake. Which I figured out how to keep filling from leaking through. So just looking for a thicker raspberry mixture
Hi MK, I just thought I would share that I followed your recipe exactly, but just with blackberries as opposed to strawberries. It turned out amazing. From my experience, this same recipe can work with any summer berry, and I'd also like to try it with raspberries sometime. Thanks very much! 🙂
This is the first (and only) cake recipe by MK that i've tried so far. And my oh my, it turned into one of the best cakes i have ever had, made for Eid and everyone loved it! I used strawberry emulco instead of extract since that was what i was able to find. I also used frozen strawberries (just took a bit longer to reduce). I still can't get over how delicious it was. I don't usually bake cakes much but i will definitely continue to bake your cakes for any special occasions. Excited to try more recipes ❤❤❤
MK shouldn't just teach baking, she should teach teaching. What crystal clear instructions, with tips, hints and explanations behind certain techniques to help understand why doing it a particular way is so important.
yes! the way she give instructions and includes what we thought to ask is so good to watch. She's a natural teacher
Absolutely agree
Honestly she’s very good
I made this last night and it is just devine! So light and fluffy and packed full of strawberry flavour. Everyone at work loved it. I’d been wanting to make it ever since you posted it and strawberries are finally at a reasonable price in NZ so here I am.
Hello did you have to strain the seeds out?
This is beautiful! Your icing techniques with the strawberry jam in the middle provides great structure. Thank you, and I can't wait to try it! 🍰
The creativity in amping up the flavour is much appreciated. I like this recipe as a nice change from the usual vanilla or chocolate cakes.
My cake game has improved so well because of you 😊❤️ thank you so much for all tutorials and your hardwork ❤️❤️❤️
This is the best strawberry cake recipe I have come across, thank you soo much for Sharing ❤

You did a nice job and the cake looks extremely moist and full of flavor! Thanks for sharing😊
Thank you so much for this recipe. I was really looking for this recipe.
Thanks for sharing this. You explain so so well, and give measurements in two ways, You are a natural teacher :) And also neat to see you using a spatula to scrape out exact measurement, and save waste, so a role model for others on UA-cam. Thanks again
I tried this cake today but replaced the strawberries with raspberries.
The cake was super moist and really tasty.

This is an extraordinary cake! Moist and delicious all the way through, but the biters with filling are divine. I always exceed the time commitment stated in recipe by hours!

That cake was everything ❤ I made it for my coworkers. It was gone in less than 30 minutes. Thank you sharing ❤
Your cake recipe really amazing ❤
Hey MK! Thanks for sharing all your cake recipes! How do you usually go about changing the size of the cake pans and how should we change the quantity of the ingredients? For example, 4” vs 6” vs 8”? I normally do 3/4 layers of cake sponge.
I made this a couple of days ago for my daughter's birthday. It was AMAZING!!!!!
Amazing cake. Thank you.
Strawberries are in season . I made this cake for my charity fair.
I made the strawberry reduction tonight!! It was so good!! I’m in the USA and we typically don’t go by grams, etc but I did using my scale. I can’t wait to start the cake and frosting tomorrow!!

I have been looking for a Chantilly cake recipe. I have found several, but they look dry.
If anyone could come up with a most and tender Chantilly cake recipe I know it's you.
My family and I would be so thankful.
God bless.
WOW this cake look so yummy

Thanks bro!!
Que delicioso se ve tu pastel. Totalmente diferente a la pastelería que acostumbramos por mi país. Saludos desde Mérida Yucatán México.😊
Awesome ! And couple toasted buttery layers of gramcracker in there somewhere 😋
Love it ❤
This looks good af.
For the strawberry goo, I prefer to use arrowroot instead of cornstarch because cornstarch has a really distinctive taste I can't help noticing; arrowroot works really well with fruits so it'd be ideal here (but not so well with dairy so I do still use cornstarch for that). You need to use 1/3 of the amount of arrowroot vs cornstarch to thicken it the same amount (so if the recipe needs 3 tsp of cornstarch you'd only use 1 of arrowroot), but it's prepped the same way; make a slurry of one part powder and two parts cool water before adding to the mix. 🎉
Gorgeous and delicious cake as always!
thank you for the tip
I really love your recipes. Can you make a black forest cake too! 😊
Thanks so much! :) Hope to share a black forest cake soon :)
Looking yummy
Hi MK, to say that your recipes are amazing and your cakes are delicious would be an absolute understatement!! I would really like to bake this cake for a smaller celebration in a 6" cake tin. How do I scale up your recipes for different tins and work out the cooking time please? Thank you :-)
Nice recipe
Assalamu Alaikum. Please do give us more recipes! Your all recipes are a big hit!
Thank you
There's another way to get that strawberry flavor into the sponge without using an extract. If you take a cup of strawberry puree (which is about 1lbs of hauled strawberries) then reduce it down to to 1/2 cup that'll get it in there. The reduced puree will look like a paste. This is something you can do the day before because it does need to be room temp to incorporate with the rest of the ingredients. The recipe I follow comes from a creator I've followed before I came on to YT. She once had her own shop. I'm telling you. That cake taste like you're eating a strawberry shake 😋 Because some strawberries aren't red enough (though the paste is pretty red, lol) the only thing you'll have to add, only if you want to, is a little bit of red dye. Not trying to take anything from your recipe. Just wanted to share another way...
That looks yummy as always regards. ❤
You are AMAZING!!!
Aww you are just as amazing Samantha!! :)
This is by far the best strawberry cake I have ever come across
Aww thank you!! :D
Watching from Cameroon 🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲, West Africa ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, MK. I know it's not widely available, but my Trader Joe's grocery store has freeze-dried strawberries. I blend them up into a powder. I add the strawberry powder and strawberry jam to my frosting for a completely natural strawberry taste. The freeze-dried strawberries also give a big punch of pink color.
That sounds delicious! I'll have to try it sometime :D we do get freeze dried strawberries here in NZ but they're quite expensive unfortunately so not as accessible :(
may God give me my own home,so i can make stuff like this at my will, i only get to do this outside were i live and its quite restrictive, its soothing to watch her bake but at the time there's an ache wishing for that.....
Mhhhhhmmmmm it looks delicious!!!
Thank you for making such clear and concise video demonstrations of the recipes you develop. It must be a ton of work, but clearly a labour of love. I do have one question, I presume this method would be successful with any berry and I'm wondering if you agree. Thanks
Thank you so so much for your wonderful feedback and for all the support :D and I haven't tried it with any other berry myself but I imagine it would be fine to do so! You would probably just need to adjust the sweetness in the initial filling/reduction as you'll probably use different amounts of sugar based on the type of berry, and then everything else would just be the same :D
SUPERB!
I've never liked Strawberry cake. But this might change my mind.❤🍓
Assalam o alaikum
I love your recipes
Waiting for lotus flavored cake with vanilla base
