Categories     Baked Goods     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 stick butter (unsalted, room temperature)
½ cup sugar (granulated)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup milk
1¼ cup flour (all purpose)
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 package instant pudding mix
1 ½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup sugar
½ cup water (divided)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups strawberries (sliced)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom of an 11" tart pan and lightly sprinkle with some flour. Be sure not to grease the sides of the tart pan as this will interfere with the batter rising.
  • Use a large mixing bowl and a hand mixer and beat the softened butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt together on high speed until smooth. About 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce the speed to low and add in one egg at a time. Allow each egg to fully incorporate into the batter before adding the next egg.
  • Slowly add the milk into the batter. Beat on low until the milk is well combined.
  • Add the flour and baking powder to the batter and continue to beat on low speed. Use a spatula to scrape the sides. Beat until the dry ingredients are well combined.
  • Pour batter into the tart pan. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer onto a cooling rack. Remove from the tart pan and allow it to cool completely.
  • Use a medium mixing bowl and combine instant pudding with heavy whipping cream. Use a hand mixer and whisk until the mixture is creamy. Set aside.
  • Use a small bowl and whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water until there are no lumps. Set aside.
  • Use a small saucepan and bring a ¼ cup of water and ½ cup of sugar to a boil. Once the water has reached a boil, reduce the heat to medium and whisk in the liquid cornstarch into the boiling sugar water.
  • Whisk continuously for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once the cake has fully cooled. Spread the pudding cream mixture with a spatula or cake spreader evenly across the cake.
  • Top the filling with sliced strawberries. Use a pastry brush to glaze the strawberries. Allow to harden for 30 minutes.

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 torte, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
4 egg yolks
1 cup flour, all-purpose
1/3 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
walnuts
2 cups whipping cream, sweeten to taste
1 quart strawberry, cleaned and hulled

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • *Prepare an 8" or 9" cake pan lining it with parchment paper (or grease the pan).
  • Cream the butter and the 1/2 cup of sugar.
  • Add the egg yolks and vanilla, mixing well.
  • In a seperate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • Blend the dry ingredients and milk alternately into the butter mixture.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
  • With clean beaters, whip the egg whites, adding the 1 cup of sugar a little at a time, until stiff peaks form.
  • Spoon the egg whites over the top of the unbaked batter and sprinkle with walnuts (whole or pieces).
  • Bake at 325F about 40 minutes or until cake tests done (cooking time will depend on your oven and pan size).
  • *Using the parchment paper will allow you to easily lift the torte from the pan to test for doneness by piercing through the bottom of the cake with a toothpick.
  • Cool the torte completely.
  • Whip the cream and sweeten to taste.
  • *You can substitute the cream with Cool Whip (or other) to lessen the calories and fat.
  • Top off the torte with the whipped cream just before serving, adding whole (or cut) strawberries as your final layer.
  • This torte should be made and enjoyed on the same day as the cream will soften the crispy meringue layer - still good but not the same!

STRAWBERRY & CINNAMON TORTE



Strawberry & cinnamon torte image

Just blitz and bake to produce this fruity dessert

Provided by Orlando Murrin

Categories     Buffet, Dessert, Dinner, Lunch, Treat

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

175g ground almond
175g butter softened
175g golden caster sugar
175g self-raising flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 large egg , plus 1 egg yolk
450g strawberry , hulled and sliced
icing sugar , for dusting
whipped double cream mixed with Greek yogurt (half and half is good), to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/gas4/ fan 160C. Line the base of a loose-bottomed 23cm cake tin with greaseproof paper and butter the sides.
  • Mix almonds, butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, egg and egg yolk in a food processor just until the ingredients are evenly combined.
  • Spread half the mixture over the base of the tin in a smooth layer with no gaps - easiest to do this with two forks. Lay the sliced strawberries on top. Add the remaining cake mixture and spread it as best you can, but don't worry if a few strawberries peep through.
  • Bake for 1 hour (it may need an extra 5 minutes), but check after 40 minutes - if it is getting too brown, cover loosely with foil. The torte should be slightly risen and dark golden brown when cooked.
  • Cool in the tin slightly, then loosen the edges with a knife and remove from the tin. Slide the torte onto a plate and sprinkle with a dusting of icing sugar. Serve warm or cold, in wedges with dollops of cream and Greek yogurt.

Tips:
