STRAWBERRY WHIPPED CREAM CAKE
Passed on from a friend, this cake sounds amazing enough to crack into the mascarpone cheese stash & ferret out some fresh (though no longer local :( ) strawberries. She found it on www.chow.com. Makes 1 big beautiful cake. I would keep this refrigerated except to slice & serve as the frosting, being whipped cream, is apt to slide to not kept pretty darned cold. I may actually stabilize the frosting with gelatin or cornstarch gel when I make it. If I do I will update recipe.

Steps:
- For the berries:.
- Combine all ingredients in a medium nonreactive mixing bowl and toss to thoroughly coat strawberries. Let macerate at room temperature at least 20 minutes before using.
- Strain macerated berries and reserve syrup separately.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the cake:.
- Heat oven to 350°F and arrange rack in upper third. Butter and flour two (8-inch) cake pans.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together into a mixing bowl; set aside.
- Combine vegetable oil, water, lemon zest, vanilla extract, egg yolks, and 1 1/4 cups of the sugar. Whip until mixture is airy and light in color (about 5 to 7 minutes). Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl; add dry ingredients and whip until smooth, about 1 minute more.
- In a clean bowl using clean oil-free beaters, whip egg whites to medium peaks. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 1 minute more. Using a rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the egg whites into the cake batter until evenly incorporated; gently fold in remaining egg whites until just combined.
- Divide batter between prepared cake pans. Bake until surface of cakes springs back when pressed and a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
- Remove cakes from the oven, run a knife around the perimeter of each, and turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Make the filling and the frosting while the cakes cool.
- For the filling:.
- Combine mascarpone cheese and heavy cream and whip until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
- For the frosting:.
- Place the cleaned bowl of the mixer and the whip attachment in the freezer for 10 minutes. Combine vanilla extract, sugar, and heavy cream in the chilled bowl and whip at medium speed until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes.
- Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, at least one hour. (The frosting can be prepared up to 12 hours ahead.).
- To assemble:.
- Using a long serrated knife, trim the tops of the cakes as necessary so they are level.
- Place cake rounds on a clean, dry surface and, using a pastry brush, brush 1/2 of the reserved strawberry syrup on the cut side of the first cake round; repeat on the cut side of the second cake round.
- Evenly spread 1/4 of the mascarpone filling over the cut side of the bottom cake layer. Arrange strawberries standing upright, stem end down, over the mascarpone layer and trim as necessary to create an even layer. Cover berries with the remaining filling, being sure to fill in any empty space.
- Place second cake layer over mascarpone and strawberries, cut side down, pressing gently to secure it. Using an offset spatula or a long, thin spatula, spread 3/4 cup of the frosting in a thin layer over the top and sides of the cake. Return remaining frosting and cake to the refrigerator until frosting on cake is set, about 15 minutes.
- Spread the remaining frosting all over the top and sides of the cake. Let sit in the refrigerator at least 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- For the buttermilk strawberry skillet cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and dust with flour. Beat the butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined. With the mixer running, add about a third of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, then add about half of the buttermilk. Continue adding the flour and buttermilk in this manner, ending with the flour, mixing just until the batter comes together. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Place the strawberries on top of the cake batter, pressing down gently. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly. For the strawberry whipped cream: Place a mixing bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer 15 minutes prior to using. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the cold whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the jam and vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. (If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate.) Serve the cake with the whipped cream and Jerry's Sugared Pecans. Jerry's Sugared Pecans: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the melted butter onto the lined sheet. In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and egg whites. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated. Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- To make sure your whipped cream is fluffy and stiff, make sure your cream is very cold and your bowl is chilled. You can also place the bowl and whisk in the freezer for a few minutes before whipping.
- If you want a sweeter whipped cream, you can add a tablespoon of powdered sugar or maple syrup while whipping.
- For a fun and festive touch, you can add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible flowers to your whipped cream.
- If you are making a layer cake, be sure to level the cakes before assembling them. This will help to ensure that the cake is even and stable.
- When frosting the cake, start with a thin crumb coat. This will help to seal in the crumbs and prevent them from showing through the final layer of frosting.
- Be patient when decorating your cake. It takes time to create a beautiful and professional-looking cake.
Conclusion:
Strawberry whipped cream cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a stunning cake that is sure to impress your friends and family. This classic cake is perfect for any special occasion, or simply as a sweet treat to enjoy on a weekend afternoon.
