Delightfully Cool Summer Strawberry Torte Recipes

Steps:

• Strain strawberries and set aside, reserving juices. In a saucepan bring cornstarch and strawberry juice to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together.
• In a separate bowl beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
• Arrange ladyfingers around sides and bottom of the 8 or 9 inch springform pan, standing ladyfingers lengthwise around sides of pan. Pour 1/2 of the filling into the pan, then place a layer of ladyfingers on top of filling. Pour remaining filling over ladyfingers.
• Spread strawberry sauce over top of cake and place the whole strawberries on top. Refrigerate and remove from pan once thoroughly chilled.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F.
• *Prepare an 8" or 9" cake pan lining it with parchment paper (or grease the pan).
• Cream the butter and the 1/2 cup of sugar.
• Add the egg yolks and vanilla, mixing well.
• In a seperate bowl, mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.
• Blend the dry ingredients and milk alternately into the butter mixture.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and set aside.
• With clean beaters, whip the egg whites, adding the 1 cup of sugar a little at a time, until stiff peaks form.
• Spoon the egg whites over the top of the unbaked batter and sprinkle with walnuts (whole or pieces).
• Bake at 325F about 40 minutes or until cake tests done (cooking time will depend on your oven and pan size).
• *Using the parchment paper will allow you to easily lift the torte from the pan to test for doneness by piercing through the bottom of the cake with a toothpick.
• Cool the torte completely.
• Whip the cream and sweeten to taste.
• *You can substitute the cream with Cool Whip (or other) to lessen the calories and fat.
• Top off the torte with the whipped cream just before serving, adding whole (or cut) strawberries as your final layer.
• This torte should be made and enjoyed on the same day as the cream will soften the crispy meringue layer - still good but not the same!

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Press onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan. Bake at 350° for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool to room temperature.
• In a mixing bowl, combine marshmallow creme and lemon juice. Stir in strawberries. Fold in whipped cream. Pour over the crust. Cover and freeze overnight or until firm. Remove from the freezer 20 minutes before serving. Garnish with strawberries and mint if desired.

Steps:

• take your cake mix, bake the cakes as directed on the box after cakes are done, set aside to cool
• while cakes are cooling, clean strawberries and take off the tops slice the strawberries so that when you use them they lay flat. set aside in refrigerater
• now that you are done doing the strawberries, prepare the pudding as directed on package, except add less milk and some cool whip, this gives it a bit more fluffyness, the package will say this, if not just add about 1/4 cup milk and about half of one tub of cool whip
• now that everything is ready, you can start to complete your tower
• crumble the cake in your bowl or cake cover that is turned upside down on its stand and proceed like this
• crumble the cake on the bottom,put some starwberry glaze on the cake spread it out on the layer, put pudding on top of glaze, then strawberries on top of the pudding, then cool whip on top of the strawberries, then repeat until you use all your ingredients.(with the two different cakes you use one then the other to make a beautiful tower) refrigerate for about 1 hour, and then it is ready to eat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, butter, and walnuts. Mix together and spread out on a large cookie sheet I used a 15 x 10 x 1 baking sheet.
• Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring 2-3 times during baking. Let cool for about 5-10 minutes, remove 1/2 cup to use for later, and press the rest of the nut mixture into a 9 x 13 baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• In another bowl, mix together strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Fold in the Cool-Whip and spread over the cooled crust.
• Top with the reserved 1/2 cup of nut mixture, sprinkled over the strawberry filling.
• Cover and place in the freezer for at least 6 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas4/ fan 160C. Line the base of a loose-bottomed 23cm cake tin with greaseproof paper and butter the sides.
• Mix almonds, butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, egg and egg yolk in a food processor just until the ingredients are evenly combined.
• Spread half the mixture over the base of the tin in a smooth layer with no gaps - easiest to do this with two forks. Lay the sliced strawberries on top. Add the remaining cake mixture and spread it as best you can, but don't worry if a few strawberries peep through.
• Bake for 1 hour (it may need an extra 5 minutes), but check after 40 minutes - if it is getting too brown, cover loosely with foil. The torte should be slightly risen and dark golden brown when cooked.
• Cool in the tin slightly, then loosen the edges with a knife and remove from the tin. Slide the torte onto a plate and sprinkle with a dusting of icing sugar. Serve warm or cold, in wedges with dollops of cream and Greek yogurt.
