This recipe goes with Strawberry Fields Forever Cake.

I wanted to jazz up my dad’s strawberry birthday cake a little bit, so I made up some strawberry filling to go on top of each cake layer with some strawberry purée I had leftover from the cake and icing. This can also be used to drizzle over the cake and/or plate as a garnish.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup frozen sweetened strawberries, puréed
1 Tbs cornstarch

DIRECTIONS:
In small saucepan, bring puréed strawberries to a boil, stirring constantly. Dissolve cornstarch into 1/2 Tbs warm water and pour into boiling strawberry mixture, stirring until thickened. Add more cornstarch (dissolved) if necessary to thicken more. Cool and refrigerate until use.
