- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper hangs over the edges for easy cake removal.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine chopped fresh strawberries with unsweetened applesauce and blend until smooth.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Transfer the puree into a heatproof bowl, sprinkle gelatin, whisk, and heat over simmering water until dissolved.
- Aerate the Mixture: Cool slightly, then beat with a mixer on high speed for about 15 minutes until fluffy.
- Pour and Smooth: Pour the fluffy mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Refrigerate to Set: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until fully set.

Notes
For best flavor, use fresh strawberries and ensure the gelatin is dissolved gently. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
