Strawberry Cake Filling Recipe

 

Ingredients

Scale
  1. 3 cups fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled (450 g).
  2. 1/3 cup of sugar.
  3. Lemon juice, 2 teaspoons.
  4. 2 tablespoons or 22 grammes of cornflour.
  5. 5 tbsp water, or enough to produce a thick cornflour paste.
  6. Only use 1/4 cup water if the filling is very thick.

Instructions

  • Mix thoroughly with the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a large pan.
  • Turn on the burner and simmer the strawberries for a few minutes.
  • For 4-5 minutes, until the mixture boils, cover the pan with the lid and cook.
  • At this point, the strawberries should be soft.
  • Strawberries should be exposed and roughly mashed with a fork or spoon back.
  • For one minute, cook it with the lid off.
  • Meanwhile, combine water and cornflour to make a thick liquid paste.
  • You may also prepare a cornflour slurry with the cooking liquid from the strawberries.
  • Slowly add the slurry with one hand while using the other to mix the filling continuously.
  • Within seconds, the strawberry filling thickens.
  • If too thick, add ¼ cup water and heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • It should have a thick texture rather than being watery.
  • It is ready when the filling is thick enough to cover the back of the spoon.
  • The mixture thickens significantly when completely cooled, becoming a thick jam.
  • As directed, keep until use.

Notes

  • Makes about 2 cups of filling.
  • Around 30 strawberries were utilised.
  • The formula is simple to alter in any direction.

The handmade strawberry filling’s shelf life

Tips for creating a fantastic strawberry filling:

  • For a speedier cooking method, slice or chop strawberries into halves.
  • If the strawberries are sour, add 1/4 cup of sugar.
  • Strawberries from frozen are excellent. Cooking might only take a few minutes longer.
  • Cook strawberries as directed if you prefer it smooth like jam.
