STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Strawberry Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting image

The fresh, natural flavors you get from making your own strawberry puree is worth the time. This cake and its frosting also gets its rosy hue from fresh strawberries rather than food coloring.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 4h

Yield One 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
Nonstick cooking spray
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla paste or extract
2 large eggs, plus 2 large yolks, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, well-shaken
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
3 1/2 sticks (1 3/4 cups) unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
3 cups confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the puree: Pulse the strawberries in a food processor, scraping as needed, until a smooth puree forms. Add the strawberry puree to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the puree reduces by half (to about 1 cup). Transfer the puree to a bowl and set aside to cool.
  • For the cake: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat two 9-inch round cake pans with nonstick baking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment rounds; lightly coat parchment with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl until combined. Beat the butter, granulated sugar, oil and vanilla in another bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the whole eggs and yolks one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl, until the batter is completely combined, smooth and creamy. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Fold in 1/2 cup of the cooled strawberry puree. Reserve the rest of the puree for the frosting.
  • Scrape the batter evenly into the prepared pans. Smooth the tops. Bake, rotating the pans halfway through, until the cakes are a light golden brown and a tester inserted into the centers comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer the pans to a wire rack and let the cakes cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the sides of the cakes and invert onto the wire rack. Remove the parchment and let the cakes cool completely.
  • For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in the butter, beating until smooth. Sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl and beat until smooth. Add the vanilla and beat until light and fluffy. Remove 3 cups of the frosting to a medium bowl and set aside. Fold the reserved strawberry puree into the remaining frosting. Refrigerate both until slightly chilled and firm, about 20 minutes.
  • To assemble the cake: Place one cake domed-side down on a platter. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the strawberry frosting evenly over the top. Place the remaining cake domed-side up on top. Spread the top and sides of the cake with 1 1/2 cups of the white frosting. Smooth out completely to make an even crumb coat. (It's okay if some of the cake shows through. This is just a base layer.) Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the frosting set.
  • Spread the remaining white frosting on the top of the cake and the upper half of the sides. There should be a band all around the bottom of the cake with the crumb coat exposed. Fill in the exposed area with 1 cup of the strawberry frosting. Use a large offset spatula to smooth the top and sides of the cake. The strawberry and white frostings should blend together during smoothing to create an ombre effect. Transfer the remaining strawberry frosting to a piping bag or resealable plastic bag fitted with a medium star tip. Pipe 8 rosettes evenly spaced along the top border of the cake.

STRAWBERRY MASCARPONE CAKE



Strawberry Mascarpone Cake image

Don't let the number of steps in this recipe fool you -it's easy to assemble. The cake bakes up high and fluffy, and the berries add a fresh fruity flavor. Cream cheese is a good substitute if you don't have mascarpone cheese handy. -Carol Witczak, Tinley Park, Illinois

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

vegetable shortening, for greasing the pans
flour, for dusting the pans
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package plain white cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
1 cup mashed fresh strawberries, with juice (1 1/2 cups whole berries)
1 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
1 cup frozen grated unsweetened coconut, thawed
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3/4 cup fresh ripe strawberry, rinsed, capped and mashed to make 1/2 cup, then drained well
1/2 cup frozen grated unsweetened coconut, thawed
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease three 9-inch round cake pans with solid vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out the excess flour. Set the pans aside.
  • Place the cake mix, strawberry gelatin, mashed strawberries and juice, oil, milk and eggs in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The strawberries should be well blended into the batter. Fold in the coconut and pecans. Divide the batter among the prepared pans and place them in the oven; if your oven is not large enough, place two pans on the center rack and place the third pan in the center of the highest rack.
  • Bake the cakes until they are light brown and just start to pull away from the sides of the pan, 28 to 30 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the layer on the highest oven rack. Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for 10 minutes. Run a dinner knife around the edge of each layer and invert each onto a rack, then invert again onto another rack so that the cakes are right side up. Allow them to cool completely, 30 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the frosting. Combine the cream cheese and butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed for about 30 seconds. Stop the machine and add the sugar and drained strawberries. Blend the frosting on low until the sugar has been incorporated. Then raise the speed to medium and mix the frosting another minute or until the frosting lightens and is well combined. Fold in the coconut and pecans.
  • To assemble, place one cake layer, right side up, on a serving platter. Spread the top with frosting. Add another cake layer, right side up, and frost the top. Repeat this process with the third layer and frost the top. Use the remaining frosting to frost the sides, working with clean, smooth strokes. Serve at once or chill the cake for later serving.
  • Place this cake uncovered, in the refrigerator until the frosting sets, 20 minutes. Cover the cake with waxed paper and store, in the refrigerator, for up to 1 week. Or freeze it, wrapped in aluminum foil, for up to 6 months. Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE MACARONS RECIPE BY TASTY



Strawberry Cheesecake Macarons Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: egg whites, granulated sugar, powdered sugar, superfine almond flour, red food coloring, cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, strawberry jam

Provided by Vaughn Vreeland

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 macarons

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 egg whites, room temperature
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
1 cup superfine almond flour
3 drops red food coloring
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
strawberry jam

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Keep beating and slowly add the sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Sift the powdered sugar and almond flour over the egg whites. Fold the dry mixture into the egg whites, giving the bowl a quarter turn every third fold. Once the batter reaches a lava-like consistency, transfer half to another bowl and add the food coloring. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix!
  • Working quickly, put the white and pink batters into separate small zip-top bags. Cut a corner off of each bag and squeeze the 2 batters evenly into a larger gallon-size bag or piping bag to create a multicolor effect.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Tip: use a little batter to "glue" down the edges of the parchment paper so it stays put). In a circular motion, pipe 1½-inch (4-cm) dollops onto the baking sheet. Lift the baking sheet and gently tap on the counter to settle the batter. Let the cookies rest for 1 hour, until they are no longer wet to the touch and a skin forms on top.
  • Preheat the oven to 285ºF (140ºC).
  • Make the filling by mixing the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk in a medium bowl until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and set aside until ready to fill the cookies.
  • When the cookies are dry to the touch, bake for 13-15 minutes, until they have risen. Let them cool for 10 minutes. To fill, pipe a circle of the cream cheese mixture around the edge of 1 cookie and place a small dollop of jam in the center. Sandwich with another cookie. Macarons are best kept refrigerated until serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before you start mixing it. This will help it mix smoothly and avoid lumps.
  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed.
  • Don't overmix the filling. Overmixing can make it runny and less creamy.
  • Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will help it set and make it easier to work with.
  • This filling can be used in a variety of desserts, such as cakes, cupcakes, and pies.

Conclusion:

Strawberry cream cheese filling is a delicious and versatile dessert filling that can be used in a variety of recipes. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you're making a classic strawberry cheesecake or a fun and festive strawberry trifle, this filling is sure to please everyone.
