Strawberry Buttermilk Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Transfer to a 12-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet. , For streusel topping, in a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, cinnamon and allspice; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Top with strawberries. Bake until center is puffed and edges are golden brown, 50-60 minutes. Serve warm with whipped cream.

Steps:

• For the buttermilk strawberry skillet cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and dust with flour.
• Beat the butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined. With the mixer running, add about a third of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, then add about half of the buttermilk. Continue adding the flour and buttermilk in this manner, ending with the flour, mixing just until the batter comes together.
• Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Place the strawberries on top of the cake batter, pressing down gently. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• For the strawberry whipped cream: Place a mixing bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer 15 minutes prior to using.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the cold whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the jam and vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. (If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate.)
• Serve the cake with the whipped cream and Jerry's Sugared Pecans.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the melted butter onto the lined sheet.
• In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and egg whites. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated.
• Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• Cream butter and 1 cup sugar with an electric mixer together in another bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla. Add dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately. Fold in strawberries. Transfer batter into the prepared skillet and smooth out the top. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Smear or brush a bit of butter onto the bottom of a 9-inch cake pan and line with parchment paper (either cut to fit the bottom, or leaving some hanging over the edges for easy removal).
• Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in a medium bowl.
• In a stand mixer (or using an electric hand mixer and a large bowl), beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla together on medium-high, periodically scraping down the sides of the bowl to make sure everything incorporates, until the mixture is pale, light, fluffy and creamy, about 5 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating to blend between additions. (This is a good time to scrape down the sides again.)
• Reduce the mixer speed to low and carefully add half the flour mixture, followed by half the buttermilk. Repeat with remaining flour mixture and buttermilk, beating just until no large lumps remain.
• Using a spatula, gently fold in half the strawberries and transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Scatter with remaining strawberries and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
• Bake until cake is puffed, deeply golden brown on the top and pulling away at the sides, 45 to 50 minutes. (It should spring back slightly when pressed in the center and appear fully baked where the strawberries meet the cake.)
• Let cake cool completely before removing it from the pan (either by inverting or lifting with the parchment lining). The cake can be baked up to three days ahead and stored tightly wrapped at room temperature, or refrigerated.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a 9-inch square cake pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
• Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl until combined. Cut in butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Measure out 1 cup of the crumb mixture to use for the topping, and set aside.
• Add buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix just until there are no dry clumps of flour remaining. Fold in strawberries.
• Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle 1 cup reserved crumb mixture evenly over the top.
• Place pan into the preheated oven and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, 60 to 65 minutes. Allow cake to cool completely in pan before carefully lifting out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Cut and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Greased and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
• Combine flour with baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Beat butter and sugars together until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well. At low speed, add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, until just blended. Spoon batter prepared pan. Top with strawberries and sprinkle with extra turbinado sugar.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until a pick inserted into center comes out clean. Let cool. Release sides of pan. Remove cake and place on a serving plate. Garnish with additional strawberries, if using.
