TIPS FOR PERFECT STRAWBERRY FILLING FOR CAKES

• CHOOSING RIGHT STRAWBERRIES: The key to a delicious strawberry cake filling is using fresh and ripe strawberries. Look for strawberries that are bright red, plump, and firm to the touch. Avoid any strawberries that are mushy or have signs of mold.

• PREPARING THE STRAWBERRIES: Make sure to hull and dice the strawberries before adding them to the saucepan. Hulling involves removing the green stem and leaves from the top of the strawberry, while dicing involves cutting the strawberries into small pieces. This will help the strawberries release their juices and cook evenly.

• COOKING THE FILLING: Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and boils. This will ensure that the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the filling is smooth and glossy. Be sure to cook the filling for at least 1-2 minutes after it boils to ensure that the cornstarch is fully cooked and the filling is not grainy.

• STORING THE FILLING: Store the strawberry cake filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the filling becomes too thick or stiff, simply stir in a few tablespoons of water or milk to thin it out.
