I made this cake for a friend's birthday bbq yesterday. The cake was yellow box cake mix with homemade strawberry buttercream. The buttercream consisted of butter, shortening, powdered sugar, macerated strawberry puree, and vanilla. At first, I had only used the strawberry juice that developed after macerating fresh, diced strawberries in sugar, but the pureed mixture had a more intense flavor. I thought I could create a super strawberry filling by adding a little basic buttercream to the puree, but this turned disastrous as the ratio caused the buttercream to separate and suspend in the puree; adding in more buttercream and salvaged the filling.
