It's Strawberry Cake time!
I threw my precious mother an 80th birthday party and made her a heart-shaped pink and red strawberry cake. This cake is sugar-free, gluten-free, and completely healthy and delicious! You can find this recipe on page 65 of Trim Healthy Indulgence.

Let's Make the Strawberry Cake Together!
Step 1 - Batter
Watch this video where I show you step-by-step how to whip this batter together.
It's quick, simple, and easy!
Step 2 - Your Baking Tray
Here I show you which tray I use and how I add the batter.
It's really not complicated - You can do it too!
Step 3 - Bake!
Bake your cake for 30 - 35 minutes at 350 degrees.
When it's done, use a toothpick to test it. If the toothpick comes out clean, it's ready! Transfer your cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool before you go on to the next step.
Step 4 - Frosting
Now, let's make the frosting!
Use the recipe for the Strawberry Cake Frosting, page 65, from Trim Healthy Indulgence. Take a look at the video below to see what it looks like, and for the clever hack I use to get the perfect pink color!
Step 5 - Decorating
Now that the cake is baked and the frosting is made, we need some decorations!
My favorite decoration for this cake is simply sliced strawberries.
All you need to do is cut the tops of the strawberries and then slice them down.
I show you how I do mine here:
Everything is ready and it's time to assemble the cake! This cake is only one layer, so I can just add the frosting straight onto the cake. Take a look at the video to see what tool I use to make this super quick and effective.
Next, use your strawberries to line the outer rim of the heart shape. You can also use some to make patterns on the top. Here is how I did mine:
This cake was absolutely delicious!
I also made my mother a grand piano-shaped cake using the Coconut Cake recipe on page 47 of Trim Healthy Indulgence.

I have also made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting in the shape of a cross, and I have video instructions of how to do that here:
