Strawberry Cake Filling Recipes

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the first 4 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Transfer to a small bowl. Refrigerate until chilled.

Steps:

• Add sugar to strawberries and set aside.
• Soften gelatin in cold water, then add boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved.
• Stir gelatin mixture into strawberries and allow to cool.
• Whip cream until stiff.
• Fold whipped cream into strawberries when it (the strawberry mixture) is the consistency of heavy syrup.
• Refrigerate until set.

Steps:

• Whisk water and cornstarch together in a large saucepan.
• Stir strawberries and sugar into the water.
• Cook strawberry mixture over medium heat until thick, about 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool completely before use.

Steps:

• Cut and slice 4 cups fresh strawberries and add to a medium bowl. Add 1 cup rum and 2 cups sugar and stir to combine. Let mixture sit overnight covered in the refrigerator. Remove strawberries from the refrigerator and place in a medium saucepan. Add the remaining 2 cups of sugar and the orange zest and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Add dry pudding mix and milk; beat 2 min.
• Pour into greased and floured 12-cup fluted tube pan and bake as directed on package. Cool in pan 10 min. Loosen cake from sides of pan with knife. Invert onto wire rack; gently remove pan. Cool cake completely.
• Beat cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Reserve 1/2 tsp. sugar for garnish. Add remaining sugar to cream cheese; beat until blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP. Stir in strawberries.
• Cut cake into 3 layers. Stack layers on plate, spreading cream cheese mixture between layers. Sift reserved sugar over cake. Refrigerate 2 hours.

Steps:

• Cut 1/3 of the strawberries in half. Combine halved and whole strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Puree 1/3 of the sauce mixture carefully in an electric blender. Mix into the remaining sauce.

Steps:

• LEMON CURD: In a microwave safe bowl mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, egg yolks, half and half, and lemon juice. Whisk until blended.
• Place in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. Remove and whisk to smooth. Repeat this two times until pudding has thickened.
• Add in the butter and vanilla. Mix well until the butter is melted.
• Cover with plastic wrap directly on top of the filling and chill at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
• CAKE: Make cake according to package directions. (You can either make a 9x13 cake or a layer cake. I usually use 3 round cake pans, and make a tri-tier cake). Cool completely.
• ASSEMBLY: Spread lemon curd over top of cake for a 9x13, and top of first and second layer only if making a layer cake.
• Spread cool whip over top (and sides if making a layer cake). Refrigerate 4-8 hours.
• Garnish with fresh strawberry slices. Serve. (Keep leftovers refrigerated).

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan, combined all of the ingredients and slowly bring to a boil over medium-high heat (keep stirring until thickened for best results).
• Let cool completely before spreading onto cake.

Steps:

• add everything into a sauce pan and cook until it boils, stirring constantly.
• Continue to cook and stir until everything is dissolved and starts to thicken approximately 5 mintures.
• Cool in refrigerator until thick and set.
• prep time does not include time in the refrigerator.
• I have never tried this, but I think you could fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped heavy cream to make a frosting.
• I also wonder how this would work in a pie -- if anyone is brave enough let me know how that works. ;-p.

Steps:

• Bring all ingredients to a boil in a heavy small sauce pan, stirring constantly and crushing berries slightly with back of spoon.
• Boil 2 minutes to thicken, stirring constantly (mixture will be slightly chunky).
• Pour into bowl and cool completely.
