CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SHORTCAKES



Chocolate Raspberry Shortcakes image

Here, strawberry shortcake is transformed into a chocolate raspberry shortcake, dark and delicious but somehow more grown-up than the traditional dish. Cocoa gives depth, but it can also make cake taste slightly bitter, so honey is added to the dough to counter this. Raspberries offset the chocolate cakes much better than strawberries would, though it would not be a crime to use them. If you have a supply of gorgeous dark, sour-sweet blackberries on hand, they would definitely be a suitable fruity alternative to the raspberries.

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 12 shortcakes, and filling for 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil or nonstick spray, for pan
1 2/3 cups flour
1/3 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons sugar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) diced chilled butter
1 large egg
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1 cup raspberries

Steps:

  • To prepare shortcakes, heat oven to 400 degrees. Oil bottom of each cup in a 12-cup muffin pan. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and sugar. Using a pastry blender or an electric mixer, or working by hand, cut in the butter until mixture resembles damp sand. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, sour cream, vanilla and honey. Add to flour mixture, and stir until thoroughly blended.
  • Put a scant 1/4 cup dough into each muffin cup. (Do not use muffin papers.) Bake until risen and firm on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to cool. Then remove from pan, and cool completely. Place 6 shortcakes in an airtight freezer bag, and freeze for another use.
  • To prepare filling for 6 shortcakes, whip heavy cream with 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar until thick but still soft. Add 1/2 cup raspberries to cream, mashing them roughly with a fork.
  • Split each shortcake in half horizontally, and place a dollop of raspberry cream onto bottom half. Add a portion of whole raspberries, and put the top back on at an angle. Sprinkle a dusting of the remaining 1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar over shortcakes, and serve.

Pineapple-Citrus Shortcakes image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Grated zest of 1/2 lime
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1 large egg
Clear sanding sugar, for sprinkling
1/2 large pineapple, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick chunks
7 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Make the shortcakes: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, lemon zest and lime zest in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until it is in pea-size pieces. Whisk the heavy cream, egg and lemon juice in a small bowl. Pulsing constantly, drizzle the cream mixture into the flour mixture; pulse until the flour is moistened and clumps form. Transfer to a medium bowl and knead 3 or 4 times to bring the dough together.
  • Scoop 6 balls of dough (about 1/2 cup each) onto the prepared baking sheet using a large ice cream scoop or a measuring cup, spacing the dough 2 to 3 inches apart. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly brush each ball of dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Toss the pineapple with 5 tablespoons granulated sugar, the orange zest and lime zest; cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 6 hours.
  • Beat the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and the allspice in a medium bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.

STRAWBERRY RASPBERRY SHORTCAKES



Strawberry Raspberry Shortcakes image

Categories     Cake     Bake     Raspberry     Strawberry

Yield servse: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

for the fruit
1 pint strawberries, topped and quartered
1 pint raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
Grated zest and juice of 1 orange
6 fresh mint leaves, cut into a chiffonade (see page 58)
for the shortcakes
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of kosher salt
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cold, cut into pea-size pieces
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream, taken out of the freezer about 15 minutes before serving

Steps:

  • FOR THE FRUIT
  • In a large bowl, toss together the strawberries, raspberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the fruit to release some of its juice.
  • FOR THE SHORTCAKES
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to combine.
  • Toss in the butter, heavy cream, and vanilla and pulse, pulse, pulse until the mixture comes together to form a rough ball; it should look fairly crumbly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. With lightly floured hands, form the dough into craggy-looking balls, a bit larger than golf balls. They should look a little like toads and DEFINITELY not be perfect. Place the balls on the baking sheet and squish each ball to flatten it some; sprinkle the balls with the remaining tablespoon of sugar.
  • Put the cakes in the oven and bake for 11 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  • TO ASSEMBLE
  • Toss the mint with the fruit and stir to combine.
  • Cut the shortcakes in half equatorially, place the bottom halves on individual plates, and divide the fruit and juice among them. Place a scoop of ice cream on top of the fruit, replace the tops, and serve immediately.

WILDWOOD'S STRAWBERRY-CITRUS SHORTCAKE



Wildwood's Strawberry-Citrus Shortcake image

From the cookbook "Wildwood - Cooking from the Source in the Pacific Northwest" by Cory Schreiber. If you wish, other seasonal berries can be substituted for the strawberries: marionberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc. Note: the original recipe specified 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or Triple Sec and 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice to flavor the strawberries. I omitted the alcohol and added an equivalent amount of fresh orange juice. I also reduced the strawberries by half but feel free of course to add more.

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 cups fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and sliced
1/4-1/3 cup sugar, depending on sweetness of berries
6 tablespoons fresh orange juice
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream or 1 1/2 cups whole milk
4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
4 teaspoons grated orange zest
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
sugar, for coating (about 1/3 cup. I used raw sugar for the ESF ( extra sparkle factor)
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 teaspoon sugar (or sub maple syrup, agave nectar, honey)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • To prepare the strawberries: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries with the sugar and orange juice. Marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Shortcakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cornmeal, sugar and salt.
  • Stir in the cream, lemon zest and orange zest until just combined.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured board. Form into a ball and knead 8 to 12 times, or until the ball holds its shape.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equal portions and roll into balls.
  • Roll the dough in the melted butter, then the sugar.
  • Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through. Let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Whipping cream: Chill a large, deep mixing bowl and the metal beaters (I place the bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10 minutes). Pour the cream into the bowl and add the sugar (or alternate sweetener) and vanilla.
  • Whip by hand with a whisk or with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. The finished consistency of the whipped cream should just hang from the edge of the whisk. The whipped cream is best if used immediately, but it can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours.
  • To serve: Cut each shortcake in half. Top the bottom halves with fruit and whipped cream. Place the top halves on top and serve.

Categories     Cake     Mixer     Chocolate     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy     Raspberry     Spring     Summer     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

For the shortcakes
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits

1 tablespoon framboise, or to taste
1/3 cup well-chilled heavy cream
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling the shortcakes
mint sprigs for garnish if desired

Steps:

  • Make the shortcakes:
  • Into a bowl sift together the cocoa powder, the flour, the sugar, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Add the cream and stir the mixture with a fork until it forms a dough. Divide the dough in half, arrange each half in a mound on a lightly greased baking sheet, and bake the shortcakes in the middle of a preheated 425°F. oven for 12 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centers comes out with crumbs clinging to it. Transfer the shortcakes to a rack and let them cool.
  • In a bowl mash 3/4 cup of the raspberries with a fork, stir in 1 tablespoon of the granulated sugar and the framboise, stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and stir in the remaining 3/4 cup raspberries. In a small bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream until it holds soft peaks, add the remaining 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and beat the cream until it holds stiff peaks. Carefully cut the shortcakes in half horizontally with a serrated knife and with a metal spatula transfer the bottom half of each to an individual plate. (The shortcakes are delicate and crumble easily.) Top each bottom half with half the raspberry mixture, divide the whipped cream between the 2 shortcakes, and with the spatula carefully top each serving with the top half of a shortcake. Sprinkle the shortcakes with the confectioners' sugar and garnish the plates with the mint sprigs.

STRAWBERRY-CITRUS SHORTCAKE



Strawberry-Citrus Shortcake image

Bright and refreshing, this is not your ordinary strawberry shortcake. The lemon pound cake is sweeter than a biscuit with just a hint of citrus. Topped with fresh strawberries and tangy, sweetened yogurt, this dessert is truly addictive!

Provided by Sarah Agrella

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Strawberry Dessert Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cake flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 ⅓ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 eggs
1 quart fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
⅓ cup white sugar
1 ½ cups yogurt
½ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  • Sift the cake flour and salt into a bowl. Cream the butter with 1 1/3 cups sugar in a large mixing bowl until light colored and fluffy. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until well blended. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, alternating with the flour mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake cake in preheated oven until top springs back when lightly touched, or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool cake 15 minutes before turning out of pan.
  • Meanwhile, place strawberries in a separate bowl. Toss gently with 1/3 cup sugar, cover, and refrigerate until needed.
  • Combine the yogurt, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl, and stir until well blended. To serve, top slices of cake with strawberries and a dollop of the cream mixture.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh fruit, especially citrus and raspberries, will give your shortcakes the best flavor. If you can't find fresh fruit, frozen fruit can be substituted, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Make sure the biscuits are fluffy. The biscuits are the base of your shortcakes, so it's important to make sure they're light and fluffy. Be sure to follow the recipe carefully and don't overmix the dough.
  • Whip the cream until it is stiff. Stiff cream will hold its shape and make your shortcakes look more elegant. Be sure to use cold cream and whip it until it forms stiff peaks.
  • Assemble the shortcakes just before serving. This will prevent the biscuits from getting soggy. If you need to make the shortcakes ahead of time, you can assemble them without the cream and fruit. Then, add the cream and fruit just before serving.

Conclusion:

Citrus raspberry shortcakes are a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family.
