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.

STABILIZED MASCARPONE WHIPPED CREAM
Well if homemade whipped cream is awesome, this mascarpone version is even better! There's just something about mascarpone cheese that has such a wonderful, light flavor and it pretty much pairs well with everything - especially fruit.

Steps:
- Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until soft peaks form. If making the chocolate version, also add the cocoa.
- 12. Add the mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream and whip until stiff peaks form. It will happen fairly quickly.
- The mascarpone whipped cream will stay stable in the fridge for several days, even for a week, though it won't remain as fresh. If you are going to use it to frosting something, I would suggest using it right away so that it maintains its texture well. Once it's piped or spread, etc, it'll stay put and nice and fluffy.
- *I prefer to use the mascarpone cheese when still chilled, but soft, so that it'll in corporate well, without chunks. The warmer mascarpone cheese is, the more likely it is to soften to the point that it won't firm up well again and can make too soft of a frosting. I like to take it out of the fridge about 15 minutes before using so that it softens a bit, but is still cool.
STRAWBERRY MASCARPONE CAKE
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

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before using.
- To make the wonton cups, use wonton wrappers that are square or rectangular in shape. Round wonton wrappers will not work as well.
- When filling the wonton cups, do not overfill them. Otherwise, they will be difficult to close and may burst open during baking.
- To ensure that the wonton cups are crispy, bake them until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- The orange mascarpone whipped cream can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to serve, whip the cream until it is light and fluffy.
