Lucky for all of us, this from-scratch strawberry cake filling is easy to make and incomparably delicious. Prepare this filling the day before assembling your cake, and enjoy stress-free cake building that beats anything from a jar.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Strawberry Cake Filling<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969377\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cake-Filling_FT24_255347_EC_022224_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cake Filling Ft24 255347 Ec 022224 2\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strawberries:<\/strong> Grab a bag of frozen strawberries, and let it thaw. No need to drain the excess liquid before using in this recipe. Simply pour everything right into the saucepan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Strawberries are naturally sweet, and we coax out that sweetness even more with a bit of granulated sugar. Don\u2019t sub in brown sugar, or it will discolor the pretty red hue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> A bit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/is-it-safe-to-eat-cornstarch\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/is-it-safe-to-eat-cornstarch\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">cornstarch<\/a> thickens the filling. Feel free to sub in tapioca starch if that\u2019s all you have on hand. Use 6 tablespoons tapioca starch in place of the 3 tablespoons cornstarch called for in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> A squeeze of lemon juice brightens the sugary-sweet flavor of this strawberry filling for cake and cupcakes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 1: Combine the ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cake-Filling_FT24_255347_EC_022224_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cake Filling Ft24 255347 Ec 022224 3\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Take out a small saucepan, and toss in the thawed strawberries, sugar, cornstarch and water. Stir until everything is combined.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Boil the filling<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cake-Filling_FT24_255347_EC_022224_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cake Filling Ft24 255347 Ec 022224 4\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place the saucepan over a medium-high heat, and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook and stir the mixture until it\u2019s thickened, about two minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add in the lemon juice<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cake-Filling_FT24_255347_EC_022224_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cake Filling Ft24 255347 Ec 022224 5\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice. Transfer the strawberry filling to a small bowl, and let it cool completely to room temperature. Cover with storage wrap, and refrigerate until the filling is chilled. You can now use your strawberry filling for cakes, cupcakes or other treats like layered parfaits!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969381\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cake-Filling_FT24_255347_EC_022224_7.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cake Filling Ft24 255347 Ec 022224 7\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use a different fruit:<\/strong> Make a whole new cake filling by swapping the strawberries out for a different frozen fruit. Try blackberries, blueberries, raspberries or cherries instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swap a different citrus:<\/strong> Replace the lemon with freshly squeezed lime or orange juice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add in herbs:<\/strong> Toss finely minced fresh, bright herbs like mint or thyme into the filling. Or infuse the whole herbs into the filling during the cooking process, and fish them out once the saucepan is off the heat and the filling has cooled for about 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it adult-only:<\/strong> Sub the lemon juice out for vodka, brandy, Champagne or bourbon. Since it\u2019s just 1 tablespoon alcohol, it won\u2019t turn the filling outrageously boozy. However, make sure to let adults know the filling is spiked, in case anyone is abstaining from alcohol.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Create texture:<\/strong> We love how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/10-ways-to-power-up-with-chia-seeds\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/10-ways-to-power-up-with-chia-seeds\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chia seeds can power up<\/a> a jam recipe while adding a slightly crunchy and jell-like texture. Omit the cornstarch, and stir in 2 tablespoons chia seeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Strawberry Cake Filling<\/h2>\n<p>To store, allow the strawberry cake filling to cool to room temperature. Place the filling in an airtight container, and keep it in the fridge for up to three days. It\u2019s actually best to make this filling the day before assembling the cake so the filling has time to chill and thicken.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Cake Filling Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1969382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Strawberry-Cake-Filling_FT24_255347_EC_022224_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Strawberry Cake Filling Ft24 255347 Ec 022224 8\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How else can I use this strawberry cake filling?<\/h3>\n<p>Besides as a cake and cupcake filling, you can use this strawberry filling as a topping for cheesecake, brownies, ice cream, pancakes and waffles.
