LIME-MINT POUND CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY FILLING



Lime-Mint Pound Cake with Strawberry Filling image

This pound cake is a combination of some of my favorite flavors. It's predominately strawberry and lime, with a subtle, refreshing hint of mint that hits just on the back of your tongue. This cake is just as good without the mint, however--so if you're not a fan, feel free to omit it.

Time 2h25m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups frozen strawberries
4 ½ teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 large eggs, at room temperature
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
⅓ cup finely chopped fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Place strawberries, sugar, and lime juice for filling in a nonreactive pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, 20 to 25 minutes. Mash strawberries into smaller pieces with the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Beat sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract. Pour 1/3 of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Mix in 1/2 of the yogurt until just combined. Repeat once more with flour and yogurt, then with remaining flour. Gently fold in mint leaves.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Carefully spoon the cooled filling over the batter, keeping it away from the sides and center tube of the pan. Carefully spoon remaining batter over the filling and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely.

BANANA CREAM CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY CREAM FILLING



Banana Cream Cake with Strawberry Cream Filling image

Provided by Alice Parker

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 c flour, sifted
1 Tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp almond extract
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp banana extract
1.5 c sugar
2 c heavy cream
SYRUP INGREDIENTS
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c water
4 Tbsp creme de banana
FILLING INGREDIENTS
1.5 c whipping cream
3/4 c strawberries, fresh and mashed
1 tsp grand marnier
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 large banana, peeled and sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Cake: Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • 2. Beat eggs until light and foamy; add flavorings, then sugar gradually.
  • 3. Add flour mixture alternately with cream, beating after each addition until just smooth.
  • 4. Pour batter into two 9\" greased round cake pans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven 40 minutes or until done; cool on racks and then brush with Simple Syrup.
  • 5. Simple Syrup: Combine sugar and water in a heavy small saucepan; bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.
  • 6. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature; stir in creme de banana.
  • 7. Strawberry Frosting: Whip cream in large chilled bowl on low speed until soft peaks form.
  • 8. Add Grand Marnier and sugar and beat on high speed until spreading consistency; fold in mashed strawberries.
  • 9. Spread this mixture between layers and add sliced banana on top of bottom layer.
  • 10. Add remaining mixture on top and sides of cake.

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries have the best flavor and texture for cake filling. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Cook the strawberries: Cooking the strawberries helps to release their flavor and thicken the filling. You can cook the strawberries on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  • Sweeten the filling to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the filling will depend on the sweetness of the strawberries. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
  • Add cornstarch or flour to thicken the filling: If you want a thicker filling, you can add a small amount of cornstarch or flour. Be sure to whisk the cornstarch or flour into a little bit of water before adding it to the filling, to avoid lumps.
  • Let the filling cool completely before using: The filling will thicken as it cools. If you use the filling while it is still hot, it will be too thin.

Conclusion:

Strawberry cake filling is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor and moisture to your cakes. It can be used in a variety of cakes, from classic strawberry shortcake to modern layer cakes. With a few simple tips, you can make a strawberry cake filling that is both delicious and beautiful.
