How to Make Strawberry Cake Filling :

Step 1

First we get ready washing the strawberries well and removing the stems. Chop them into small pieces. If you want a smoother filling, chop them finely. For a chunkier filling, leave some pieces larger.

Step 2

Next we place the strawberries in a saucepan along with the sugar and lemon juice. Stir gently and place the pan over medium heat. As the strawberries heat up, they will release their juices and begin to soften.

Step 3

Then we in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. This mixture helps thicken the filling without making it heavy and once the strawberries are bubbling and soft, slowly pour in the cornstarch mixture while stirring. Continue to cook and stir until the filling thickens. This usually takes just a few minutes.

Step 4

At the end we remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the filling cool completely before using it in cakes or desserts. As it cools, it will thicken a little more.
