Cómo preparar Patricia Polacco's Thunder Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour two 8 1/2-inch round cake pans.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 4 large egg yolks, one at a time.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup cold water and 1 cup (approximately 2 medium) pureed tomatoes.
  6. Gradually add the tomato mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, beating until combined.
  7. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  8. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups cake flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  9. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  10. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  11. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  13. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate buttercream frosting (recipe #169403 recommended) and garnish with fresh sliced strawberries.
