Hi Megan! The sifted cake flour should actually measure 265g, which is 2.5 US cups (I hear AUS cups are slightly larger than US). Also, if the butter is too soft it will not cream properly with the sugar, and could ultimately lead to the cake sinking in the baking process. The measurements are correct (I’ve made this cake a LOT using the metric measurements), but the butter and the rest of the dairy ingredients need to be at room temp. This typically means to take them out of the refrigerator and leave them on the bench for about 1 hour. Hope this helps!

I’ve just started making this cake for my daughters 1st bday
I’ve bought cake flour and sifted, but 255g is not 2 1/2 cups? Which one is it~ What am I doing wrong?

Also I just went to cream the butter and sugar and also found the sugar amount seemed so much and it didn’t cream it just stayed all sugary and went runny (the butter was quite soft after sitting on bench for awhile)
I’m sorry can I just double check the measurements?
Thanks so much, the cake looks lovely and I can’t wait to make it!
Megan 🙂

Hi Olga! Yes, you can use frozen strawberries for the puree but you might need to reduce it for longer with the extra water content from the ice. Hope that helps!

Hi Cayla! I can’t think of why the cake turned out purple. Did you make any substitutions to the ingredients list? That will help me determine why the cake turned out dense.

Hi Anouck! You can absolutely make the whole batch and bake one layer at a time. Let the batter sit at room temp while you bake the layers. Hope that helps!

I made this cake and really enjoyed the flavor however it felt pretty dense and turned out purple despite having added pink food coloring. Any suggestions to get a slightly more open crum and have it not be soo purple?
