GREAT-GRANDMA ELLEN'S JORDGUBBSTåRTA (SWEDISH STRAWBERRY CAKE) RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Turn the oven to 350F. Butter and flour a 9" spring foam pan. In a bowl melt butter, then add milk and let it sit. Then in another bowl add eggs and butter and mix those together. Then add the butter milk mixture and then the vanilla. Lastly add the flour and baking powder. Pour the batter into the pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes. Let it cool before you cut into it. Cut the sugar cake in half so you have a top and bottom. In a large bowl, whip cream until stiff peaks are just about to form. Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form. Make sure not to over-beat, cream will then become lumpy and butter-like. Place half the whipped topping and 3/4ths of the strawberries over the bottom layer of the cut cake. Then add the top of the cake and cover with the remaining whipped cream and strawberries.

BEST EVER STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIE RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• For pie crust, in a medium bowl stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in shortening and butter cubes until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon. of the water over part of the flour mixture and mix lightly. Push moistened pastry to side of bowl. Repeat moistening flour mixture, using 1 tablespoon. of the water at a time, until all the flour mixture is moistened. Gather flour mixture into a ball, using hands to combine until it holds together. Divide pastry into two portions, one portion with 1/3 of the dough and one portion with 2/3 of the dough. Wrap pastry with plastic wrap and freeze for 1 to 2 hours or until firm. Meanwhile, for strawberry rhubarb filling, in a large bowl stir together sugar, tapioca, ginger and salt. Add rhubarb and strawberries; gently toss until coated. Let rhubarb mixture stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. (If using frozen rhubarb, let mixture stand 45 minutes.) Meanwhile, remove pastry from freezer and let stand 10-15 minutes or until easy to slice. Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll the larger piece of dough out to fit the bottom of a deep dish pie plat. Flute edges as desired. Stir fruit mixture and transfer to the pastry-lined pie plate. Roll the smaller dough out and place on top of the filling. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below the pie in oven. Bake for 60 minutes (75 minutes if using frozen fruit). Remove foil; bake 15 to 20 minutes more or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings.
