CARRY CAKE WITH STRAWBERRIES AND WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch tube pan.
• In a small saucepan, combine the butter and milk. Warm until butter has melted, but do not boil. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 2 cups sugar. Stir in the warmed milk and butter and vanilla. Combine the flour and baking soda; stir into the batter just until blended. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 55 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the crown of the cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before removing and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
• In a mixing bowl fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and salt. Beat at medium speed until smooth. Pour the heavy cream in a slow steady stream while the mixture is whipping until the mixture has fluffed up and can hold a stiff peak. Don't let it get grainy looking though. Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula occasionally to remove any lumps.
• Slice the cooled cake horizontally into three layers. Arrange strawberries on the bottom layer with the top ends facing outward. Fill in the remaining space with more berries. Spoon some of the whipped cream over the berries and spread evenly. Place another layer of cake on top and repeat the process. Place the top layer on the cake and cover with the remaining cream. Arrange remaining berries over the cream.

• Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then remove from pans and cool completely.
• To make the filling: Beat whipping cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla on high until stiff. Fill each layer with 1/3 of the whipped cream and 3/4 cup sliced strawberries.
• To make the frosting: Beat the margarine, cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Spread over the sides of the cake, and pipe an edge of frosting around the top of the cake.

STRAWBERRY CAKE WITH BASIL WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• For the basil whipped cream: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and stir in the basil. Let sit 30 minutes, then strain and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours.
• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F with a rack in the middle. Butter and flour a 9-inch cake pan and line the bottom with a circle of parchment.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar on high speed in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, scraping down the sides occasionally. Reduce the speed to low and mix in half of the flour mixture. Add the milk and vanilla and mix to combine. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix just until smooth.
• In a clean mixer bowl, whisk the egg whites and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar to firm peaks. Stir about a third of the egg whites into the batter to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites. Spread the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely.
• For the strawberries: Combine the strawberries and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Toss well and refrigerate until the sugar dissolves and the berries become juicy, about 30 minutes. Taste and add a little more sugar if needed. When ready to serve, add the basil and toss.
• Put the chilled cream in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium until foamy, then gradually add the confectioners' sugar and increase the speed to high. Whisk to form soft peaks, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the vanilla.
• Split the cake horizontally with a serrated knife into 2 thinner layers. Place the bottom layer on a serving platter. Top with half of the whipped cream and then half of the strawberries. Add the top layer, cut-side down. Top with the remaining whipped cream and strawberries. Garnish with basil sprigs and serve immediately.

STRAWBERRY WHIPPED CREAM CAKE

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.

• 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.
