This cake filling is made with juicy strawberries cooked together with cornstarch, water, sugar, and lemon juice until thick. The result is a sweet, slightly tangy, luscious fruit filling that you'll want to spread on almost everything.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups diced strawberries (fresh or frozen - if frozen, slightly thawed)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small pot over low heat until no lumps remain. Increase heat to medium. Add in strawberries and sugar, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir often.

  2. 2

    Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat and let cool completely before using. It will thicken more as it cools.
