STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CAKE



Strawberry Shortcake Cake image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound strawberries, plus more to garnish, optional
1 1/2 pounds powdered sugar, sifted
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt

Steps:

  • For the strawberry shortcake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour an 8-inch cake pan.
  • Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter with 1 1/2 cups of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla, and mix until combined. Add the sifted dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just barely combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until no longer jiggly like my bottom, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan as soon as you pull it out of the oven. Place the cake on a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely.
  • Stem and halve the strawberries, and mash then them. Sprinkle the strawberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
  • For the icing: Combine the powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, vanilla and dash of salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until very light and fluffy.
  • Slice the cake in half to make 2 smaller cakes. Spread the strawberries evenly over each cut side of the cake halves, pouring on all the juices as well. Place the cake halves into the freezer for 5 minutes, just to make icing the cake easier.
  • Remove the cake halves from the freezer. Use a little less than one-third of the icing to spread over the top of the strawberries on the bottom layer. Place the second cake layer on top. Add half of the remaining icing to the top, spreading it evenly. Spread the remaining icing around the sides of the cake.
  • Leave plain or garnish with strawberry halves. Serve slightly cool.

THE BEST CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE



The Best Classic Strawberry Shortcake image

For our simple and iconic shortcake, we discovered a great double-stacking technique that creates super light and high biscuits that are easy to split. This makes them easy to fill without crumbling. A simple recipe like this one allows its ingredients to shine, so use the very best berries you can find.

Categories     dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes and frozen
1 pound strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • For the shortcakes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter; pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Pour in the chilled heavy cream mixture and pulse until just combined.
  • Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough 1/2-inch thick. Cut out as many biscuits as you can with a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Then pat the remaining dough out to 1/2-inch thick again. Cut more biscuits; you should get 12.
  • Put 6 of the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops generously with cream, then top each cream-brushed biscuit with one of the remaining biscuit rounds. (This makes it easier to split once they are baked.) Brush the top of each biscuit stack with more heavy cream and sprinkle 1 teaspoon granulated sugar on each biscuit.
  • Bake the biscuits until golden and puffed, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, for the topping: Toss the strawberries and 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Just before serving, beat the heavy cream, sour cream, the remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Split the shortcakes in half. Spoon half the cream on the bottom of the biscuits, top evenly with the strawberries and top with the remaining cream. Put each biscuit top on and serve.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE

This classic strawberry dessert highlights the freshness of its ingredients and the purity of its flavors. It's summertime eating at its best-and it's easy for kids to make, too.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 pints strawberries
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Prepare the berries: Toss the strawberries with lemon juice and sugar to combine. Let macerate at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the biscuits: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk to combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 1 cup cream and stir with a fork just until dough starts to come together but is still crumbly.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a rough 6-inch square, about 1 inch thick. With a 2 1/2-inch round cutter dipped in flour, cut four biscuits from dough and place them, evenly spaced, on a parchment- lined baking sheet. Gather dough scraps together, fold once, and gently pat into a rectangle; cut out two more biscuits. Whisk egg and remaining 1 tablespoon cream, then brush egg wash over tops of dough rounds. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Bake until tops are golden brown, rotating sheet halfway through, about 25 minutes. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack and let cool slightly.
  • When ready to serve, whip cream in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Split biscuits in half, and place a bottom half on each plate. Top generously with berries and their juice, then with remaining biscuit halves and dollops of whipped cream. Scatter a few more strawberries on top and around each plate.

Strawberry Shortcake Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: strawberry, granulated sugar, lemon zest, fine sea salt, all purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, fine sea salt, unsalted butter, heavy cream, flaky sea salt, whipped cream

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ¼ lb strawberry, cleaned, hulled, and quartered
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
2 cups all purpose flour
4 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided
1 tablespoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cubed
1 cup heavy cream, plus 1 1/2 tablespoons, divided
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Marinate the strawberries: in a medium bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon zest, and salt. Set aside to marinate while you make the shortcakes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cubed butter and, using your fingers, cut in the butter until pea-sized pieces form and the mixture starts to clump together. Add 1 cup (240 ml) cream and mix just to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to a clean work surface and pat into a ¾-inch-thick (2 cm) rectangle. Cut into 8 squares. Use a pastry brush to brush the tops of each square with the remaining 1½ tablespoons of heavy cream and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar and flaky salt.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the shortcakes are cooked through and golden on top.
  • Cool the shortcakes, then split and serve with the marinated strawberries and whipped cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you frost it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
  • Decorate the cake with additional strawberries, whipped cream, or sprinkles, if desired.

Conclusion:

Strawberry shortcake torte is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of moist cake, sweet strawberries, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give strawberry shortcake torte a try - you won't be disappointed!
