Strawberry Lemonade Layer Cake Food

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE

Steps:

• Place strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice for the reduction into an electric blender and puree until smooth.
• Pour strawberry mixture into a large saucepan and simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced by 1/2, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons for cake and frosting; remainder will be used as cake filling.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans and line with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Beat sugar and butter using an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Mix in lemon zest and vanilla extract. Stir in 1/3 of the flour mixture until just combined. Stir in 1/2 of the sour cream, and 1/2 of the lemon juice. Repeat alternating additions of flour mixture and sour cream plus lemon juice until just combined, making sure not to overmix.
• Place 1/2 of the batter into a separate bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup strawberry reduction. Place dollops of both lemon and strawberry-lemon batters alternately into the prepared cake pans. Swirl batters together with a butter knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes in the pans before removing and transferring cakes to a wire rack to cool completely, 15 to 30 minutes.
• While cakes are cooling, beat butter for frosting with an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until incorporated. Mix in 5 tablespoons strawberry reduction, lemon juice, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt until combined. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add additional powdered sugar if too thin, or additional heavy cream if too thick, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
• Place 1 cooled cake layer on a serving platter and cover top with a thin layer of frosting. Pipe a border around the edge of the cake layer using a piping bag filled with frosting, leaving the center open. Pour remaining strawberry reduction into the center of the border, making sure it doesn't overflow over the sides. Place second cake layer on top and continue to frost as desired. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE POKE CAKE

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan set over medium-low heat, combine the strawberries, water, sugar, frozen lemonade concentrate, and zest and juice of 1 lemon. Stir well, cover, and cook until the strawberries are softened and the liquid is deep red, about 10 minutes.
• Pour the liquid over a fine-mesh sieve and into a bowl and add the strawberry gelatin into the liquid. Whisk well until the gelatin dissolves, and set aside, allowing the mixture to cool to room temperature, about 30-40 minutes. (Discard the strawberry solids or use for another recipe.) While the filling cools, make the cream cheese layer.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese, frozen lemonade concentrate, powdered sugar, and the zest and juice of 1 lemon together on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
• Set oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cake mix, frozen lemonade concentrate, water, sour cream, eggs, and zest of 1 lemon. Beat together, on medium speed, for 2 minutes.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake according to cake package directions, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean (about 25-30 minutes). Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. When cooled, use a thin handle of a wooden spoon to poke about 35-40 holes all around the top of the cake.
• When the strawberry gelatin mixture has cooled to room temperature, slowly pour (or spoon) it over and into the holes in the cooled cake.
• Cover with plastic wrap (keep the plastic wrap from touching the cake, if possible) and refrigerate 30 minutes before adding the Lemonade Cream Cheese Layer.
• When the cake is ready, spread the Lemonade Cream Cheese mixture on top and smooth it out.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days.
• When ready to serve, decorate the top with Cool Whip, fresh strawberries and colored sanding sugar, if desired.

STRAWBERRY LEMONADE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F.
• Grease your baking pans well with coconut oil or palm shortening or other oil of choice.
• *** Please note: I used a 9 1/2 inch x 2 inch round enameled pan for this cake, and it made a single 1 1/2 inch layer. Double the recipe for a 2-layer cake, or use smaller pans and divide the batter. ***.
• Measure dry ingredients (coconut flour, tapioca starch, psyllium fiber powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt) into a mixing bowl and whisk together.
• Add palm shortening to dry ingredients and carefully mix until well combined. The tapioca starch will fly everywhere if you mix too fast.
• Remove stems from strawberries and rinse. Mash with a fork or puree in a blender or food processor. Add lemon juice and mix well.
• Batter will be fluffy, not pourable. Spread it into well-greased pan.
• Place a layer of parchment paper over the top of the cake and use your hands to smooth the cake batter to an even layer. Trim off excess parchment paper and leave it on the cake while baking.
• Bake at 350*F for 30 minutes.
• Remove cake from oven and remove parchment paper immediately, to prevent condensation on the cake.
• Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Shake the cake pan lightly to loosen the cake. Place a cooling rack face down on the cake pan. Holding cake pan in one hand, and cooling rack on top with the other, flip the cake onto the cooling rack. Let cake cool completely before frosting.
• Frost with lemon frosting. (https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/vegan-quot-cream-cheese-quot-frosting-536008).
