Number Of Ingredients 15

CAKE:
15 egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tarter
1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
1 cup cake flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
FILLING:
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 pound package frozen strawberries
ICING:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Whole strawberries, for decorating

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff. Sift the superfine sugar three times and add slowly to the egg whites. Sift the cake flour and salt five times, and then fold slowly into the egg whites. Sprinkle in the vanilla and fold. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes in an unbuttered angel food cake pan. After the cake rises and begins to brown, cover with buttered paper. Remove the paper in the last 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely, inverted on a bottle or jar that fits the cake pan. Make the filling: Dissolve the gelatin in boiling water and add the strawberries, stirring to break up and mix the berries. Make the icing: Whip the cream with the powdered sugar until thick. Assemble the cake: Place the cake, wide-side down, on a serving plate. Cut a 1-inch layer from the top and set it aside. Cut around the cake 1 inch from the outer edge to 1 inch from the bottom. Cut around the cake 1 inch from the inner edge to 1 inch from the bottom. Gently remove the section of cake between the cuts and pour in the strawberry mixture. Place the top cake layer back on top and spread the icing all over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with whole strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving so the filling firms up. You'll have left over cake. Serve it at another dessert with just some berries and cream on top.

Tips:

  • Prepare your cake pans in advance: Grease and flour the pans, or line them with parchment paper, before you start making the batter.
  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature: This will help them combine more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries will give the cake the best flavor.
  • If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries: Just thaw them before using.
  • Be careful not to overcook the strawberries: Strawberries can easily become mushy if they are overcooked.
  • Garnish the cake with fresh strawberries and mint leaves: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the cake.

Conclusion:

Strawberry Sparkle Cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be decorated to match any theme. With its moist and fluffy cake layers, sweet and tangy strawberry filling, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
