Ingredients
  

Cake Mixture
  • 1/2 cup chopped strawberries chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 1/3 cups unsweetened applesauce
  • 4 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder

Equipment

  • Blender
  • Stand Mixer
  • Double Boiler
  • 8-inch or 9-inch Square Pan

Method
 

  1. Line the sides and bottom of an 8 inch or 9 inch square pan with a large sheet of parchment paper.
  2. Add strawberries and applesauce to a blender. Blend on high speed until strawberries are fully pureed and the puree is uniform in color.
  3. Add puree to a large heat-proof mixing bowl. Sprinkle gelatin across the surface. Whisk until gelatin is fully incorporated.
  4. Using the double boiler method on the stove, dissolve the gelatin completely.
  5. Pour mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat on highest speed for about 15 minutes.
  6. Pour mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across and smooth the surface. Place into fridge for at least 1 hour to set.
  7. Keep the cake in the fridge until ready to serve. Before serving, decorate with whipped cream frosting or other frosting.

Notes

This no bake cake is perfect for hot days when you don't want to turn on the oven. Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to achieve the right texture. Serve chilled for the best experience.
