STRAWBERRY TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Sift the flour and salt together into a medium bowl. Beat the eggs and granulated sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until thick like cake batter and pale yellow in color, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla. Gently but quickly fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until combined. Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread evenly.
• Bake the cake until it springs back when gently pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes.
• Make the strawberry sauce: Combine the strawberry milk, heavy cream, condensed milk and strawberry concentrate in a large bowl and mix very well. Pierce the cake all over with a fork, then slowly drizzle with the strawberry sauce. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Make the whipped cream: Grind the freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until powdery. Beat the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar and strawberry powder in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 2 minutes. Fold in the lemon extract.
• Spread the whipped cream over the cake and garnish with strawberries. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

• Combine the eggs and 1 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl and beat on high speed with a handheld mixer until thick, pale and doubled in size, about 4 minutes. Add the yogurt, melted butter and vanilla; beat for another minute. Add the flour, baking powder and salt; mix until just combined, 30 seconds. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly to the edges. Sprinkle the sliced berries on top. Pour the remaining batter over the berries; spread evenly once again.

STRAWBERRY COUNTRY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Butter the bottom of two 8-inch cake pans. Then line them with parchment paper and butter and flour the lined pans.
• Cream the butter and sugar on high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy. On medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, then the sour cream, zests, and vanilla, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix well. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. On low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine just until smooth.
• Pour the batter evenly into the pans, smooth the tops, and bake in the center of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then remove to wire racks and let cool to room temperature. If using 1 cake, wrap the second well and freeze.
• To make the filling for one cake, whip the cream, sugar, and vanilla in a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until firm. Slice one of the cakes in half with a long, sharp knife. Place the bottom slice of the cake on a serving platter, spread with 1/2 the whipped cream and scatter with sliced strawberries. Cover with the top slice of the cake and spread with the remaining cream. Decorate with strawberries.

STRAWBERRY TRES LECHES CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Lightly oil the base and sides of a 20 x 30cm cake tin and line with baking parchment. Put the egg whites in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and beat using an electric whisk until foamy, about 3 mins. Add 150g of the caster sugar, a spoonful at a time, whisking until thick and glossy.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, remaining caster sugar and vanilla together for 2 mins until pale and foamy. Add the flour, baking powder and 100ml milk, and use a spatula to fold everything together.
• Add a large spoonful of the whisked egg whites and beat in to loosen the mixture, then gently fold in the remaining egg whites using a large metal spoon (be careful not to over-stir so you don't knock out the air). The batter should be smooth.
• Pour the batter into the prepared tin, level the surface and bake for 30-35 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Mix together the evaporated and condensed milks along with the remaining 100ml fresh milk, then set aside until needed.
• Remove the sponge from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 20 mins. Invert into a deep baking tray or tin - it needs to be deep enough to hold the sponge and the milk mixture. Remove the parchment from the sponge and poke holes over the surface with a skewer. Pour over half the milk mixture and leave to soak for 10 mins - at this stage, most of the liquid should have soaked in. Pour over the rest of the milk mixture - it will pool around the sponge, but will absorb as it rests. Leave to cool for 30 mins, then chill while you prepare the strawberries. Will keep chilled for up to a day.
• Mix the strawberries with the icing sugar and leave to macerate for 10 mins. Whip the double cream and cinnamon together to soft peaks. Spoon the cinnamon cream over the sponge, spread to the edges and pile on the strawberries. Cut into squares to serve. Will keep chilled for up to a day.
