STRAWBERRY DAIQUIRI CAKE

Steps:

• For the Strawberry Daiquiri Cake LayersPreheat the oven to 350 degrees, grease and flour three 8 inch x 2 inch round cake pans. You can use two 9 inch pans, just lengthen the baking time a bit. In a medium sized bowl, add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to blend for 30 seconds. Set aside. In another bowl combine the sour cream, 3/4 cup thawed strawberry daiquiri mix, strawberry extract, oil, lime zest, and rum. Blend and set aside. In the bowl of your mixer blend the butter until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix on medium speed 3 to 5 minutes until fluffy and lightened in color. Add the eggs 1 at a time mixing until the yellow of the yolk disappears. Add the flour mixture and the sour cream mixture alternately, beginning and ending with the flour mixture (3 additions of dry ingredients, 2 additions of wet ingredients.) If adding a little pink coloring gel, you can do so at this time. Mix until combined and smooth, do not mix above medium speed or over mix. Makes about 8 cups of batter. Divide between the prepared pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 22 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few crumbs attached. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes, then turn out. For the Strawberry FillingAdd all ingredients to a small saucepan. On medium/high heat allow mixture to come to a boil. Stir as the sugar begins to melt and the strawberries soften. When the mixture begins to boil, lower the heat and stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. You can press some of the strawberries against the side of the pan as they soften. Pour into a heat proof bowl to cool. It can be refrigerated in an air-tight bowl until ready to use. Use within 5 days. This makes enough filling for a 3 layer cake. For the Strawberry Daiquiri FrostingPut the softened butter in the bowl of your mixer and mix until smooth. Add the pieces of softened cream cheese to the mixing bowl. The cream cheese should be soft enough that it combines easily into the butter/powdered sugar mixture. Beat on low/medium speed about 1 minute or until the cream cheese is blended in. Add the powdered sugar and then lime juice, lime zest, and rum. Add a touch of pink coloring gel if you'd like. Beat on Medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes (a bit longer if using a hand mixer). Scrape the bowl mid way through. Do not over beat. This frosting should be refrigerated. Makes 6 cups Assembly of CakePlace the first cake layer on the pedestal or cake base. Spread with a layer of frosting (mine was fairly thin). Pipe a dam of frosting around the edge of the cake layer (about 1/4 inch from the edge) using a disposable piping bag with the tip snipped away. Fill inside of the dam with a layer of strawberry filling. Place the next layer on top and repeat. Then top with the third cake layer are frost. I created a spiral pattern on top of the frosted cake using a small rounded spatula, starting from the top center of the cake, creating an impression as I rotated on the turntable. I created more impressions using the small spatula around the base of the frosting and finished things off with a shell border using a 2D piping tip.
