Provided by Tikeyah Whittle

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
7 tablespoons sugar
6 large eggs
3 cups whole milk, warm
¾ stick unsalted butter, melted
¼ teaspoon red food coloring
¼ teaspoon orange food coloring
¼ teaspoon green food coloring
7 cups whipped cream, divided
¼ cup strawberry puree
2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberry, crushed, divided, plus 1 teaspoon
4 tablespoons passion fruit juice, strained, divided
2 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons lime zest, divided
3 strawberries, halved lengthwise

Steps:

  • Make the crepes: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar. Add the eggs and whisk to incorporate. Gradually whisk in the warm milk and melted butter, alternating between additions.
  • Divide the batter evenly between 3 medium bowls. Add the red food coloring to a bowl and whisk until fully incorporated and the batter is evenly colored. Repeat with the orange and green food coloring and remaining bowls of batter.
  • Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in ¼ cup (40 G) of the green crepe batter and tilt the pan to cover evenly. Cook until the surface begins to gently bubble, 2-3 minutes, then flip and continue cooking for another minute, until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, stacking each color crepe separately on a wire rack. Let the crepes cool for 15-20 minutes.
  • Make the whipped cream fillings: Add 2 cups (480 ml) of whipped cream to each of 3 medium bowls. Add the strawberry purée and 2 tablespoons crushed freeze-dried strawberries to a bowl of whipped cream and mix until well combined. Add the passion fruit juice to another bowl and mix until well combined. Add the lime juice and 2 tablespoons lime zest to the last bowl and mix until well combined.
  • To assemble, place a green crepe on a serving platter. Spread with 2 tablespoons of the lime filling. Continue stacking the green crepes and lime filling, then repeat with the orange crepes and passion fruit filling, then the red crepes and strawberry filling. Spread the remaining cup of whipped cream evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
  • Top the cake with the halved strawberries, then sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of lime zest and remaining teaspoon of crushed freeze-dried strawberries. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of passion fruit juice.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

STRAWBERRY SUMAC CAKE



Strawberry Sumac Cake image

In the introduction to this recipe from her cookbook, "Watermelon and Red Birds," Nicole Taylor notes that cooks in the Mediterranean and the Middle East know the acidic tang of crimson dried powdered sumac as a kitchen staple. Sumac doesn't get a lot of love in American kitchens, even though edible sumac species grow wild throughout America and are essential in the Indigenous American kitchen. Dr. Cynthia Greenlee wrote about how foraging is back in style for a new generation of Black Americans. If you want to forage for the wild variety of sumac and dry and prepare the spice at home, the fall season is the time to do it. Look for sumac with red berry clusters, such as staghorn sumac. Be sure to avoid berries of any other color, which may be poison sumac.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup chopped hulled strawberries (1-inch pieces), plus 1 cup strawberries, halved
1 teaspoon ground sumac
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup/240 milliliters plus 1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour
1 cup/152 grams stone-ground yellow cornmeal
½ teaspoon kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1 cup/200 grams plus 2 tablespoons/25 grams granulated sugar
½ cup/120 milliliters half-and-half
¼ teaspoon ground sumac

Steps:

  • Prepare the strawberries: Combine the chopped strawberries, sumac, sugar and almond extract in a small bowl and set aside to macerate, a process of letting the berries soften and release their juices.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, baking soda and baking powder to combine. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a medium bowl using a handheld mixer, beat the eggs and 1 cup/200 grams sugar on medium-high speed until very pale and light yellow in color, about 3 minutes. The mixture should thicken and make ribbons that slowly lose their shape when they fall off the whisk attachment. With the mixer on high speed, slowly add the remaining 1 cup/240 milliliters olive oil and beat until everything is combined.
  • Reduce the speed to medium-low and slowly begin adding the dry ingredients in 3 additions, adding the half-and-half in between additions. Mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and fold in the diced strawberries and their liquid. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Arrange the halved strawberries on the top.
  • Bake for 50 to 65 minutes, until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cake is becoming too brown before the center has set, cover loosely with foil.
  • In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons/25 grams sugar with the sumac. Sprinkle the cake with the sumac sugar while still slightly warm.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Turn the cake out of the pan onto the rack or release the springform ring and remove it. (If using a standard cake pan, some sugar may fall off of the cake. Use parchment or wax paper to catch any stray sugar and sprinkle back over the cake.) Let cool completely before serving. Store leftover cake in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 1 day (or refrigerate up to 4 days).

Tips:

  • Prepare ingredients and equipment in advance: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready to use. This will help you stay organized and avoid any interruptions during the baking process.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the flavor of your cake. Choose fresh, ripe strawberries that are deep red in color and have a sweet aroma.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then stop.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully baked. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.

Strawberry Tropics Cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful cake layers, tangy strawberry filling, and creamy whipped cream frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
